Stuart Clark

Stuart started to learn the Bass trombone at the age of 13 while at Winterton Comprehensive School. (It was the only instrument available at the time!!) His early playing years were spent performing in both the Lincolnshire and Scunthorpe Schools Orchestras under guidance of the late Rex Rands. His musical development continued in the Brass Band arena playing for Barton Town Band (twice), Hatfield Colliery Band, Ransomes , Fossdyke and more recently East Yorkshire Motor Services now known as the City of Hull  Band.

In that time he has played under a variety of Musical Directors  including: Steven Shimwell, Major Peter Parkes, Trevor Walmsley,  Roy Newsome, Richard Evans, Walter Richie, and Harry Mortimer( yes he is that old!!) His favourite test piece is Contest Music.



Stuart has 2 claims to fame, for nearly 40 years he has played Bass Trombone alongside Carl Robinson on 2nd Trombone (is this some sort of record?) and in 2010 Stuart won the best trombone prize in the first section at The North of England Regional Contest playing “A Moorside Suite”. Stuart`s brother Phil is also a trombone player with the LSO (Leeds Symphony Orchestra).
