Cleethorpes Band are sad to hear of the death of Paul Stanley who passed away after a short illness.  Paul was a member of the Band for a good number of years playing Euphonium and Trombone and was once part of the winning Best Trombone Section at the Leicester Contest.  In the early days Paul played in the band alongside his brother Mark, and went on to meet Rachael through the band who he later married. 

Paul also held committee roles and was key to obtaining a grant allowing the purchase of a full set of training band instruments which we still use today for our Beginner and Training sections. 

Paul was in touch with the Band a few weeks before he passed away and shared fond memories of his time with us.  He will be greatly missed as a friend of the band.

Cleethorpes Band will contest the North of England Brass Band Championships on Saturday 16th March 2024 at The Gala Theatre in Durham

Congratulations to our prize winners announced at our Annual General Meeting yesterday.
