Sam Ringrose

Sam`s musical education began on piano at the age of 6 and included a very brief spell on flute. Not long after, Sam was sent a battered old cornet from the Barnetby Silver Band and his obsession with brass bands began joining Barnetby Silver Band. After several years on cornet it was decided that a move on to euphonium would benefit both Barnetby Band and Sam. Taking to it very quickly Sam has played euphonium ever since and after spells at Barrow Concert Band and Frickley South Elmsall Band, in 2010 the opportunity to join the ‘East Yorkshire Motor Services Band’ was too good to pass up. Sam is extremely proud to have performed with the band at some amazing venues including the Royal Albert Hall, the Sage Gateshead and Perth Concert Hall. He was also delighted to receive in his first year, the bands "Most Improved Player" Award, from the bands then Musical Director Alan Morrison. Sam has been on the band committee for several years and is the current Vice Chair of the band.



Outside of the band Sam works as an electrician and can often be seen at Blundell Park cheering on the Mighty Mariners, Grimsby Town FC.
