Personnel
DB Brass can call on a wide team of musicians for performances, but here is a list of our core players:
| Jo Tinsley | Bb Cornet, Bb Trumpet and Eb Trumpet | Like many other musicians, Jo first studied to play a musical instrument with a visiting music teacher at school. After a number of years away from brass instruments Jo returned to the cornet and is now a regular member of a number of ensembles in the Cardiff area. She also has a growing reputation as a free-lance trumpeter. |
| Gareth Rees | Bb Cornet, Bb Trumpet, Piccolo Trumpet and Flügel Horn | Gareth started his musical life by playing the flügel horn in the brass bands of Wales before changing to the trumpet. Over the last 25 years Gareth has played most styles of music including jazz, pop and musical theatre. As well as DB Brass, Gareth currently works as a free-lance musician with numerous classical orchestras across Wales and the West of England. He is also highly regarded as a teacher and mentor to young musicians. |
| David Rees | Flügel Horn | David started to play the cornet at the age of 6 after listening to his Fathers' music lessons. David is the third generation of brass players in the Rees family and is proud to pick up the flügel horn in his Fathers' footsteps. After a number of years playing cornet with the City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Band David is now a member of the M2 Band. |
| Martin Rosser | Trombone | As well as the trombone, Martin is a talented multi-instrumentalist, playing the tenor horn, flute and piano among others. He has performed with a number of orchestras and bands throughout Wales in recent years including the City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Brass Band. His experience as a performer is most valued by the other members of DB Brass. |
| Bryn Kipling | Tuba | Born into a musical family, Bryn has been playing brass musical instruments since he was 7 years old. Now playing the tuba and trombone, his trademark sound has enhanced many an orchestral concert. The unique sound Bryn conjures from his tuba has won Bryn many admirers from all fields of music. As well as DB Brass, Bryn plays regularly with the City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Brass Band. |
