Gregor Spence

Originally from Barnsley, Gregor began playing Eb Bass at age ten with Sellers Youth Band and later enjoyed major success with Elland Youth Band, including a 2017 European Youth Championship win. He joined Skelmanthorpe Band in 2016, contributing to several notable contest achievements.

In 2018 he moved to Cardiff to study at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and soon joined Flowers Band, winning ‘Best Basses’ at Brass in Concert in his first outing. Gregor became Flowers Band’s youngest-ever Band Manager in 2022 while completing a Distinction-level Masters in Arts Management.

Professionally, he works as Trusts and Foundations Manager for The Benedetti Foundation, and in 2025 he received Brass Bands England’s “Young Bandsperson (18–25)” award.

​Gregor brings invaluable experience from both the brass band and fundraising worlds, which will be instrumental in helping Bandamonium establish a stable platform for future growth, and allow the organisation to launch further festivals around the UK and Europe.
