Nathan says…
‘I am so happy to have been appointed as Musical Director of Thrapston Town Band. The band have a great amount of potential and I can’t wait to get started. It feels like coming home as TTB was my first band, I was a product of their youth program and then on to the main band under the legendary conductor Ray Jeffery MBE.’
