Wendy Brayshaw - Repiano Cornet

Assistant Bandmaster

Wendy started playing piano at 8 and trumpet at 14. She did music as a second subject at PE college. She went into teaching where she picked up the basics on many instruments. Her trumpet playing was non-existent for 20 years whilst raising her family and concentrating on other activities.

In 1995, she joined brass bands for the first time so took up the cornet but has played all brass instruments along the way. When she retired she moved to Bridlington and now plays for Hunmanby Silver Band and Bridlington Excelsior. 

Wendy joined Driffield in 2006, and has played throughout the cornet section. She has settled on Repiano cornet and now leads the back row with authority.
