Any age, any size, any standard - it does not matter to the members of Otley Brass Band who need two new players.

They urgently need to fill the position of a back row cornet and bass player.

They have the instruments and are wanting musicians with any experience to come and join them in these positions.

Tenor horn player Ann Ridgeway said: "We have got people to play on the front row but we want people to who have not been confident enough to join us before because they think they are not good enough to play.

"We are looking for someone who maybe learning or someone who hasn't played for a while, they would be ideal.

"Anybody who can play in any shape or form would be ideal, we have the instrument they just have to come along."

The group meet on Tuesdays in Burley Parish Reading Rooms, Burley-in-Wharfedale, and they have 30 members aged from 16 to 90. They need the new players to join them in a series of engagements they have booked over the summer.

l Anyone interested should contact Ann Ridgeway on 468510.
