Boro' Brass Welcomes New Musical Director: Nick Wallwork

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Nick Wallwork as the new Musical Director of Boro' Brass. Nick brings a wealth of experience and as well passion to develop both players and musical groups. Nick also has many years experience with the organisation and we’re excited to have him on board as he leads the band through its next chapter.


Nick’s journey in the world of music making began at the age of 4 when he took up playing the drums, and over the years, he has built an impressive resume as a teacher, player, and conductor. He is the current Head of Drums and Percussion with Bury Music Service and has an impressive record of developing players who have progressed to study at some of the country's top music schools. As a percussion player in the brass bands, he has performed with YBS Band, Wardle Anderson, and Littleborough Band. He has also played with rock, folk, and pop groups.


As Musical Director, Nick will be responsible for guiding the artistic direction of Boro' Brass, working closely with our players to develop their abilities, improve their confidence in reading music, and support players playing as a section as well as a band. His aim is to bring players up to a standard where they feel confident enough to progress into a contesting band should they desire. He also plans to be innovative and engaging with the music both for the players and audiences at our future concerts. His vision for the band includes a blend of traditional brass band repertoire alongside contemporary pieces, ensuring that our performances remain both rooted in our rich heritage as well as being forward-thinking.


Nick has already expressed his excitement about joining Boro' Brass stating, "I am honoured to take on the role of Musical Director with such a dedicated and talented group of musicians. Boro' Brass has a strong reputation in the community, and I look forward to working together to achieve even greater success in the future."


Under Nick’s leadership, we are confident that Boro' Brass will continue to grow, attracting new members, and reaching new audiences. We look forward to the innovative ideas and musical excellence he will bring to our rehearsals and performances.


Please join us in welcoming Nick Wallwork to the Boro' Brass. We are excited about the future and can't wait to see where this new partnership will take us!


New players are always welcome at all of our bands, whatever your ability whether complete beginner, lapsed player, or experienced performer we’ll help you find the right band and instrument for you.


The band’s next performance will be alongside Littleborough Brass Band on Saturday 5th October at St. Andrew’s Church, Dearnley as both bands perform an exciting programme of musical hits.
