Barrhead Burgh Band

Conducting Barrhead Burgh Band is Martyn Ramsay.

Martyn was once the band's Flugel Horn player in 2003/04 where he won Solo prizes as the band enjoyed a year of great success, winning the 2nd Section and coming third at the National Finals.

From there Martyn moved to the Kirkintilloch band where he was the Flugel Horn player for 3 years. During that time he won the Best Horn medal at the Scottish Championships in 2005 and a winners medal in 2007.

Having been forced to retire from playing in 2007 at the tender age of 27, Martyn has now decided to focus his attention on conducting having been inspired by the experience of playing under the likes of Steve Bastable, Nigel Boddice, Dr Stephen Cobb, Russell Gray and of course his father, Allan.
