Bass Guitar / Trombone 

At School I wanted to play the flute but couldn't get a note out of it so tried the trumpet and couldn't get a note out of it either. They gave me a trombone and I did get a noise out of it and so I started playing the trombone. This worked out well as not many people played it (unlike the flute) and so I got to join better bands ahead of many others. I have grown to love the trombone; it's a really versatile and expressive instrument. In my teenage years I dabbed a bit on guitar and later, bass guitar. When Force Tewn's bass player left in the 2015 I thought, hey, I'll give that a go and have stuck with that ever since, although I still play my trombone in another band. Playing the bass is great, it's a lovely feeling producing the root of the bands sound and I love it when the rhythm section gets really tight locking the rest of the band in.

Alto Sax

I started playing recorder at School asked 7. Aged 11 I took up Clarinet and had private lessons with a wonderful teacher who suggested I might enjoy playing in an orchestra. I played in various youth wind bands in the area. At 14 there was a spare flute floating around at School so I played that for a year or so. At 17, other things in life took over and music took a back stage. I'd always wanted to play Sax, so aged 34 I bought one and taught myself to play! 

I joined Force Ten on Alto Sax and occasionally Clarinet and flute in 2001. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with such talented musicians. We love to have fun and good banter whilst playing some great music!

Jane 

Tenor Saxaphone 

I started playing recorder at 7. Told my wonderful headteacher and music teacher I wanted to learn violin aged 8. (Have no idea where this idea came from!) Took up flute aged 11. Age 40 inherited a beautiful Tenor Sax and had lessons. Have played in Orchestras regularly on violin (and viola) for over 30 years, but love the new genres and musical opportunities gained through my saxophone and meeting everyone in Force 10.
