Budding brass band members from Otley have received tuition from some of the best players in the world.

Members of Wharfe Brass, Otley Brass Band’s development group, enjoyed a weekend of masterclasses at Ilkley’s Nell Bank centre.

During the weekend the players were helped by the likes of Paul Woodward, Mike Howley, Dave Smith, Garry Hallas and William Rushworth.
