We're sad to be losing Rob, our brilliant MD, in the New Year. He's served the band for many years, and now feels he needs to give time to his other projects. So.... we're looking for a new MD! If you are interested, please see the vacancies page, as there are some specific details attatched to the job. Please feel free to contact the band and make enquiries if you would like to know more.

Quality acts, quality venue and a quality time had by all. There was an eclectic mix of styles and interpretations all the way through this concert, and everyone was impressed particularly at the finesse and energy of the Children's Choirs - Colneis Junior School and North Suffolk Youth Choir. Each group brought their own unique take on Christmas music, which, combined with both humorous and thoughtful readings from the BBC Suffolk presenters, meant there was never a dull moment!

If you are a jazz composer and would like to write for HORN FACTORY, leave a contact via email and we can discuss what the line up (and versatility) of the band is! Maybe you have some charts to trade? If so, please get in touch!
