Paulton Concert Band is seeking a new conductor on a voluntary basis following the retirement of Richard Soulsby, who led the band for more than 30 years.

Rehearsals take place on Monday evenings at The Cellar in Paulton, and the band is keen to hear from anyone interested in taking on the role.

The band had a busy Christmas season, performing at multiple venues, including St. Peter’s Church in Westfield and the Paulton Christmas Extravaganza.

They also travelled to Warminster to surprise their former conductor with a special carol performance.

Anyone interested in becoming the band’s new conductor or joining as a musician is encouraged to get in touch via email at [email protected] or visit www.paultonconcertband.org for more information.
