BTS Appoints New Secretary

The BTS is pleased to welcome Phil Dewhurst to the position of Secretary.

Phil is a Scottish-based freelance trombone player who studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Ian Bousfield, Denis Wick and Dudley Bright before being offered and accepting the second trombone chair of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, a post which he held for 2 years. Whilst here, he freelanced over the UK with all major orchestras before going down a completely different route as a management consultant, working with businesses globally to upscale their contract workforce. Settled now in Clarencefield, Dumfries with his wife and son, Phil is very passionate about doing all that he can across the education network to provide opportunities to play brass instruments in schools and local organisations whilst freelancing with various orchestras and local ensembles, and is very excited to be a part of the BTS.
