EverReady Band is delighted to announce Jonathan Fenwick as its new resident conductor..
Following the departure of Chris Shanks earlier this year, Jonny and John Roberts prepared the band ahead of the Northern Regional Contest and the Grand Shield.
A detailed and coordinated team effort resulted in the band winning the Grand Shield in May under the baton of Stephen Roberts.
A graduate of Durham University Music Department, Jonny is currently head of music at Parkside Academy in County Durham.
Jonathan first worked with EverReady (Reg Vardy) as a borrowed percussionist for the World Championships in Kerkrade in 2005 and soon became a permanent member.
Since then Jonny has been dedicated to the success and progress of the band, whilst conducting Ferryhill to consecutive national finals qualifications, this year as second section champions.
Jonny’s work ethos and attention to detail impressed the management of the band in the months since Christmas, and we’re delighted to have him lead our preparation for the British Open in September.
