Sir Brian May CBE
Alder Valley Brass are thrilled to announce that Surrey neighbour Sir Brian May CBE, lead guitarist with the world-renowned rock band Queen, has agreed to become the band’s new Honorary President. Sir Brian said it was ‘a pleasant surprise’ and that he was ‘very honoured’ to be asked to fill a position previously held over the years by Ronnie Barker and. later, Ronnie Corbett. The band have a musical link to the Two Ronnies as they played (under their former name The Aldershot Brass Ensemble) on two of their famous TV shows. The band now look forward to the chance to play arrangements of Queen music especially for Sir Brian including Bohemian Rhapsody, Don’t Stop Me Now and, particularly, the Brian May-composed Fat Bottomed Girls.
