Alan Currie

Alan has played kit since his teenage years and began playing with heavy metal rock groups. After a brief spell off the rails playing side drum in pipe bands, Alan saw the light and returned to kit playing, this time becoming a valued member of JIB.  Possibly his finest work is setting up the Jedforest Drum Academy.  Alan can often be found on the top of Scotlands Munros and draining the bottom of a bottle of Glayva. His favourite Brass peice is Cry of the Celts and thinks his best banding moment is still to come

Fiona Neary

Fiona joined Abbey Brass 18 months ago after watching her son in the cornet section. She had been a keen musician at school playing piano and clarinet, but had not been involved in anything musical for 25yrs. She started playing the glockenspiel for Abbey Brass, and now is an enthusiastic member of the percussion team with Jedforest Instrumental Band. This has been a steep, but hugely enjoyable  learning curve, with great support from Alan Currie  and her percussion teacher. Fiona is excited about the future of the band and hopes to continue her brass band development

Wully Russell

Wully has been a member of the JIB since making the switch from the Jedburgh Royal British Legion Pipe band in the mid 80s. Every year around June/July Wully appears like a vison to lead the band in celebrating Jedburghs annual festival the 'Jethart's Callants Festival'. This requires the band to do a lot of marching and Wully certainly keeps the Beat.  A  fantastic  Bass Guitar player, Wully likes all types of rock music and in his spare time he enjoys fine foods and real ale.
