Principal Cornet - Steve Gaskell
Steve has been playing since the age of 7 and has been principal cornet with the band for over 10 years.
Soprano Cornet - Chris Wagg
Once described by his Biology Master in a school report as "the Dormouse at the Mad Hatter's tea party - except when standing on stage blowing a piece of coiled up brass tubing." No change there then.
2nd Cornet - Will Sandilands
Will has been playing for 6 years and joined Enfield 3 years ago.
2nd Cornet / Deputy Conductor - Richard Ferraro
Richard has been playing Piano since the age of 4 and started playing trumpet at the age of 8. Richard joined the Enderby Youth Brass Band in Leicestershire in 2004 and had many successful years contesting with the band. He is now our Deputy Conductor.
3rd Cornet - Scott Collier
Scott is the band Chairman and by far the most interesting character within a pretty dull bunch. His high opinion of himself is not matched by his ability on the cornet.
Euph / Baritone - Adam Legge
Adam is 43 year old Accountant working for the V&A Museum in London.
1st Baritone - Mary Smith
Mary has always lived in Enfield and learned to read music at school.

Solo Horn - Karen Burnell
Karen started playing cornet in brass bands as a teenager and then moved to flugel and then to tenor horn. She likes to mix this traditional brass music with new and contemporary repertoire and is always willing to try out and experiment with new styles of music and performance.
1st Horn - Sam Rice
Samantha has played tenor horn with Enfield since 2009. Although she now likes brass band music, as a relative newcomer to the world it all seems a bit of a mystery to her sometimes.
2nd Horn - David Barlow
David has been in the band since 2003 and has been Secretary for 5 years.
