Andrew Morley is our Musical Director.  Andrew studied conducting and orchestration with Denis McCaldin at Lancaster University and subsequently won the Hertford Choral Scholarship to study with Peter Stark at Trinity College of Music, London. He graduated with distinction, winning the Ricordi Conducting Prize.  In February 2004 Andrew was awarded first prize at the Allianz-Cornhill Musical Insurance Conducting Competition (formerly British Reserve competition) having received unanimous votes from both jury and orchestra.  See his full biography here.

Mike Crisp was a pillar of the BBC’s TV Training Department and composer of a considerable amount of music for television programmes. 

He assumed the responsibilities of Musical Director of the BBC Elstree Concert Band from a very early stage and continued for many years until his departure for pastures new in France. He still returns to the UK each year as Guest Conductor.

Georgina Hajdu is the Band General Manager looking after bookings, concert administration and rehearsal scheduling.  As a professional Conference Organiser and Director and Chairman of the Society of Young Freeman of The City of London 2009/10 she is perfectly placed to ensure the band continues to go from strength to strength.  Georgina works closely with our Musical Directors on new venues and repertoire. She also plays alto saxophone with the band.
