Joel is a Baritone and Euphonium player from Sheffield. He started his banding career with Deepcar and Rockingham Bands before moving to Nottingham for University. Whilst he was studying Accounting at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) he gained the Alumni Instrumental Award which gave him many performing opportunities in the UK and abroad. During his studies he also found time to achieve his DipABRSM Music Performance diploma on Euphonium and became the Principal Euphonium of Cornerstone Brass (Yorkshire) - a position he held for 4 years.
2016 saw Joel’s first foray into Midland banding by joining Thoresby Colliery Band as Solo Baritone. During his spell at Thoresby he was part of a band that competed at the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain in 2016 and 2017.
After a short sabbatical due to work commitments, Joel went on to join Derwent Brass as Solo Baritone in 2019.
