He has already performed solo recitals internationally in Austria, Spain and at Ground Zero in New York. In 2013 he played in London to win the Woodard Schools Junior Musician of the Year, and at the age of 15 became a member of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.

Hailing from Preston, Lancashire, Ben moves to Leyland after a successful spell as principal cornet of the Hebden Bridge Band.
