Appointed March 2005

|
Brian began playing percussion at the age of 41 years in June 2001,
after gaining inspiration from his trumpet playing daughter, Emma, who played
with the Usworth Youth Orchestra.
At that time,
Sunderland Symphony Orchestra had only one tenor drum and one side drum, but, in
October 2001 two timpani (25 and 28 inches) were purchased, and Brian
made good use of them ever since.
Brian served his time at Wearmouth Colliery, Sunderland, and worked as
an underground fitter until closure in December 1993. He was then
employed at Dunlop Tyres, Washington.
