Solo Cornet - Alli Northcott

Alli "chose brass cos it chose me" discovered brass bands during her university days in Plymouth. She joined RBL in 1995 after playing the trumpet in a wind band. Moving to Lympstone in 2004, Alli became the band's new Soprano player, bringing her fidgeting and competiveness with her. Alli is arguably the fittest member of the band as a semi-professional athlete. This commitment now prevents her from rehearsing with the band as much as she would like, but is happy to play anything that is needed - Cornet, Soprano Cornet, Flugel, Horn...!

Solo Cornet - Keith Gibson

3rd Cornet - Liz Courts

Liz joins us from St. Agnes band and has recently graduated from Rolle College in Exmouth with a BA in Music. Liz is a committed member of the band who will also help other bands, especially the Cornish ones! She moved back to Cornwall in 2009 and is working for the council in finance but intends to stay registered with the band and attend as many rehearsals and engagements as she can!
