2nd Cornet - Tessa Dunn
Tessa started playing the Cornet at an early age in the Indian Queens Band under the tutelage of her father Lionel. She progressed very quickly, and it wasn't long until she was winning a host of solo prizes, including holding the title of Southwest Solo Champion for five consecutive years!
Tessa held the principal cornet seat with Indian Queens Band for many years, as well as playing for St. Austell and Bugle Bands.
After several years out of the banding world, Tessa has returned to playing with Roche Brass in May 2013.
3rd Cornet - Kevan Stevens
Kevan started playing the cornet in his school band and was one of the founder members of the Brackley & District Band in the mid 1970’s. After many successful years with Brackley, Kevan gave up playing for a number of years before moving to Cornwall in 2006.
Following his move to Cornwall, it didn’t take long before Kevan was hunted down and talked into playing again with the Bodmin Band. A couple of years with Bodmin was followed by a couple with St. Pinnock and then a couple with St. Dennis before joining Roche Brass in April 2015.
