Eastbourne student in winning quintet
Harry Plant, a former Willingdon School pupil now studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, plays the trumpet in Connaught Brass alongside Aaron Akugbo, Robyn Blair, Chris Brewster and Aled Meredith-Barrett.
Harry, who also plays with Eastbourne Silver Band, said, “To win this competition is an incredible feeling for us all and one that will bring us even closer as a group and take us forward as a chamber ensemble.

Connaught Brass was formed in 2016 but the current line up has now been together just over a year and a half.
