Musical Director

Matt Brown

With a keen interest in creating high quality music, I have dedicated my banding life to excellence both as a player and a conductor.

Following a short time as Solo Trombone with the world famous GUS Band and 2 years with Carlton Main Frickley Colliery, I am now proud to be part of the musical force of the Desford Colliery Band.

I enjoyed an extensive musical career in the British Army and was selected for the Bandmaster course at the Royal Military School of Music.

Following a highly successful career I decided to use my passion to develop the musical life of young people through education and gained a position as Head of Performing Arts.
