Maurice Wright

I began playing the Tenor Horn at the age of nine with the local Colliery Band in South Yorkshire and still remember the trips across the Pennines to the Daily Herald Contests at Belle Vue. After moving to Liss in Hampshire I was involved with the local Junior School Band and was a co-founder of the Liss Band in 1978 and its first Conductor. Later I conducted Haslemere Town Band for a period of fourteen years and for the last ten years have continued to play with Haslemere in various positions, finally ending up for many years on the Eb Bass until a hand injury forced me move to the trombone.
