In this episode of The Harworth Brass Podcast, Pete is joined by Daniel Whitt to explore a banding journey that starts in the school years and comes full circle back to Harworth Brass.

In Part 1, Daniel looks back at how he first got involved with the band while still at school, sharing memories from those early rehearsals and how being part of Harworth Brass helped build his confidence both musically and personally. It’s a story many listeners will relate to — finding your place, growing in confidence, and discovering a passion for music.

In Part 2, the conversation moves on to Daniel’s wider banding experiences, the different bands he’s played with, and how music has continued to shape his life beyond the band room. He also reflects on what it means to return to Harworth Brass now as a regular dep, especially while living in Nottingham, and how it feels to reconnect with the band where it all began.

With plenty of stories, insights, and a few laughs along the way, this episode is a great listen for anyone involved in brass banding — past or present.
