Eb Basses

Steve White

Steve started playing cornet at the age of 10 with St Agnes Band. He played there for 12 years before moving to Stithians. He then spent 6 years at both St Austell and Camborne Bands on Eb Bass before deciding to take a break from banding. His most memorable moment was playing Harmony Music with St Austell at the Royal Albert Hall and gaining 6th place. His favourite piece of music is Ballet for Band.  Steve was coaxed out of retirement back in 2009 and is said to be thoroughly enjoying both his playing and the company of his fellow Bass players. 

Ian Davies

Ian joined the Band after visiting the practice room in an attempt to sell the Band a Set of Brand new Basses (we declined). After joining the band on Bass Trombone he is presently playing Eb Bass. Ian works as a Forestry Officer, although in his spare time he teaches both brass and reed instruments. He has played in the past with Bude, Bodmin Town and Halls Oxford Brass Bands and his most memorable moment is playing 'Contest Music' at the Royal Albert Hall in 1982.  Outside of banding, Ian enjoys Small Steam Locomotives and running a 20 piece Dance Band. He would like it known though that he is not wholly boring and he also likes women and a good curry. He says his main ambitions in life are to play more right notes than wrong and continue to concentrate on becoming a full time music teacher.

Shaun Jenkin

Shaun joined the band on leaving the Army in 1986 and is the band's second longest serving member. He started his banding with Gwennap Band (who then went on to become City of Truro Band) and the St Keverne Band before choosing to become a full time musician in the forces.  He now works for the civil service (he uses the term 'works' very loosely) and is married to his long suffering wife Debbie, to whom we send our sympathy. His favourite piece of music is Olympic Fanfare and Theme. He says you should avoid Leeds United Fans (oops sorry shaun, I misread what you wrote) He says he is an avid Leeds United Fan. Shaun's plans for the future are to win the lottery and retire.  He is presently a Trustee of the Band and also a Life Member.
