PLAYER PROFILE

Ian Jones

Age: 41

Instrument: Cornet

Musical History:
Started with St Agnes Silver band at the tender age of 10 & a bit, Was a member of The Band of the Devon and Cornwall Constabulary for 20 years until it was axed! (Not that all the ex Police Bandies are bitter!) As Well as Bryanek Brass I am playing  solo cornet for Riviera Concert Brass (aka RCB aka Reconstituted Constabulary Band - Just about all of the old Police Band effectively)  and  a member of  Newquay Band. Have played for Saltash Town Band. Have sat in with a  few others to help and once even the Royal Marines as an invited extra (they must of been desperate! but Half their rank were in Iraq at the time!) Have also tried out an Orchestra in my younger days. but I much prefer all Brass..

Best Musical Blip:
B flats!!! Sometimes I just have a handful of thumbs!!!! I have too many blips to remember!

Best Musical Achievement:
Not necessarily an achievement but Playing at Wembley for a cup final was good! In fact 3 finals. Admit ably they were lower league finals but it was an experience. Have played at some stage for most members of the Royal Family at least once and Fanfares for H.M The Queen twice, the last time when she visited Truro for her Golden Jubilee.

Favourite Piece:
Lots !

Favourite Drink:
Tanglefoot... ...and as Del says " remember to treat every day as your last, because one day you will be right; drink Tanglefoot regularly to make sure you do not get caught out!"
