Anna Forest : 2nd Cornet

Anna reigns from Rochdale Youth Band and began playing the cornet aged 14 thanks to a particularly unhealthy crush on the conductor's son. Originally a flute player, she soon discovered that band camp of the brass variety had a lot more to offer than that of woodwind (mainly alcohol, alcohol and alcohol).
Joining Pennine Brass in September 2005, Anna brings to the band her hair-braiding and hair-straightening skills, and occasionally likes to offer some musical input (when it is possible to breathe in a full lung capacity of oxygen and not the aftermath of Percy and Batts' evening meal).
