Phil Laybourn
The band elected Phil as their bandleader in February 2008 and his leadership and musical direction of ConChord has proved to be a great success. His is a member of the trombone section and in the hours of daylight - a landscape gardener.
When not playing with ConChord he is a busy musician playing for whoever needs a trombone player in local pit orchestras, Symphony orchestras and big bands. A Musical Director for local amateur operatic shows he studied Bass trombone at the Welsh College of Music and Drama, he plays tenor t/bone with us. His usually weary look disguises his prowess on his instrument and his ability to lift heavy speakers and amps, which first attracted us to him.
