January 2022 – Present
Tristan began learning drums completely by accident due to not paying attention in an early secondary school music class. He was subsequently dragged into a Glossop School Brass Band rehearsal and handed over to the percussion section for processing.
Since then Tristan has rarely been seen without a pair of sticks in his hands, playing with Whaley Bridge then Tintwistle bands as well as dabbling in other less brass orientated genres of music. After a 20-year sabbatical hanging out with guitarists and other hooligans, Tristan has been tempted back into the loving arms of the Brass band fraternity and is questioning his sanity.
