Neil Batty
EEb Tuba
Neil has only recently joined the band after some time away from the brass band scene. His brass roots are in S.A. bands where Neil started playing Eb Bass at the age of 8, and at 17 he joined the Band of the Parachute Regiment. He has also played with Shildon Town Band, Durham Constabulary Band, and Grimsby Primo Windows Band. After working overseas for a number of years he returned to UK shores and joined the Stanley Newmarket Colliery Band on Eb Bass. Unfortunately, due to work commitments Neil had to stop playing but has recently been able to join up with Garforth Town Brass Band, and is once again, enjoying his brass banding.
