Crowfield Fete 19th July 2025
Dave Charles – Musical Director
In May members of Castleton Brass, welcomed Dave Charles as our new Musical Director.
Dave was born into a traditional Salvation Army family where the expectation was to play a brass instrument. That meant cornet but the trombone was always Dave’s first love.
Dave continued his trombone studies in his Bachelor of Music degree at Cardiff University. A PGCE in Music followed specialising in secondary education.
Dave plays trombone in many local ensembles and he is looking forward to developing his brass band conducting career with Castleton Brass.
