Duncan Beckley

The Royal Buckley Town Band recently competed at the Wales Regional contest in Swansea.  This follows a recent visit to the Brass At The Guild contest in Preston where Duncan Beckley conducted the band for the first time.

Duncan was born in London, but his family moved shortly afterwards to Wakefield, West Yorkshire and his love for music grew into a passion and a profession. He started playing the Flugel horn at ten years of age and progressed to the tuba, which he played with many brass bands. He is now a conductor, band trainer, teacher and adjudicator and travels widely conducting bands throughout Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Duncan is also a member of the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators (ABBA) and is in increasing demand in this role which he greatly enjoys, having judged at National and Area contest level.

The Band and Duncan featured in a recent article on the 4BarsRest.com website.  Read more here.
