Bristol East and Kingswood Band based in Hanham, Bristol have recently appointed the up and coming young conductor Ben Vleminckx as their new resident musical director. 

Ben is a recent graduate from Bath Spa University where he studied for a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music.

With his move to Bath, Ben then played for bands in Wales and Gloucester whilst studying.

Ben continued "I have great ambitions for building the band and pushing them forward as much as I can."

The band are pleased to have a young and enthusiastic MD on board. With Ben's ambition for the band, we look forward to seeing the band moving upwards.
