Many thanks for asking us, it was a privilege to play for your wonderful guests who were actively enjoying our music!

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Jenny! 🎉

Jenny has been playing the cornet since the age of 10, and is a familiar face at BCB - whether on the back row or on the horn bench. Her musical journey has taken her through an long list of bands, including Barnetby Silver, EYMS, BAE Systems, Belvedere Concert, Amersham, Enderby, and Christchurch & District Concert. Originally from Grimsby, Jenny is also a keen cyclist and would no doubt choose to spend her birthday out on the bike - ideally in the sunshine, somewhere scenic, or even tackling the climbs of the Alps! 😎🚴‍♀️

We hope you have a wonderful birthday and a fantastic celebration.
