Young Musician
Jess Gillam has played at the District Conference and recently played with the Halle Orchestra.
Our Club also provides a Bursary in the Junior Brass Band category in the prestigious, annual, South Cumbria Musical Festival.
Fourteen year old saxophonist Jess Gillam, our candidate from Ulverston Victoria High School, won the instrumental section of the Wales and North West area finals of the young Musician competition at Clitheroe on 17 March . When aged only 13 Jess became the youngest Ambassador for the Yanagisawa saxaphone company who supply her sax.

The competition was fierce with all the entrants being extremely talented.
