Musical Director David Loukes 
David Loukes received his early musical training in the Salvation Army becoming Solo Trombonist with the Chalk Farm Band. He was awarded a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music where he studied trombone playing with Denis Wick and brass band scoring with Frank Wright. In 1967 he was appointed Assistant Principal Trombone in the Halle Orchestra. After seven years with the orchestra, during which time he also free-lanced with many of the country’s leading orchestras he turned to the world of education joining the staff of the (then) Salford College of Technology. He played a major role in the establishment of the ground breaking courses in Band Musicianship. During this time he also started his career in brass band conducting which would lead to appointments with such bands as Black Dyke, combining full-time positions with professional conductorships and adjudication throughout Britain. Currently he works as a private brass tutor to many pupils of all ages and abilities, from young players who are enjoying their first meeting with a brass instrument to players “of mature years” and young adults on the verge of a career in music. Now David has taken the task of conducting Heyl Band and may he be with us for the foreseeable future
