Nelson Brass are pleased to announce the engagement of Dave Holland as temporary Musical Director.

MD of Haslingden and Helmshore Band, and a good friend of Nelson, Dave's aquisition has been a welcome relief to the band who have already seen a noticeable improvement in the standard of playing and attendance at rehearsals.

The band have changed their rehearsal night from Tuesday to Monday to accommodate Dave, and are looking forward to the forthcoming contesting season, and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his encouragement and support after what has been a difficult period in the band's history.

With Dave's wealth of knowledge and proven track record with Haslingden and Helmshore, the band are confident of obtaining a full complement of players before the next contesting season.

PS - the rehearsals are very entertaining too !!
