Resident Conductor - Chris Brown

Chris joined the Fakenham Town Band in early 2010 initally to play percussion, then moving on to conducting in May 2010. Chris also set himself the challenge of learning to play brass by taking home a cornet, which he brought back the next week to swap for a tuba!

Chris teaches music at Fakenham High School, is Musical Director of Fakenham Choral Society, and is Organist and Choirmaster at Fakenham Church. In his spare time(!) he sings tenor with the Jay Singers.

Chris describes himself as an organist by trade, however he has been known to play the viola in his younger school days.

Away from the band Chris enjoys cycling, playing snooker, following cricket and has recently taken up running.

Chris likes being in the band because "it is a fun and vibrant place to be, everyone supports one another".

One memorable moment Chris recounts was conducting Soul Bossa Nova in a concert, and playing the vibraslap at the same time - a fine example of multi-tasking!
