Tim Williams - Founder

Tim is Bandamonium's founder. It was a pub visit post band berating the fact that Devon didn't have a Whit Fridays that caused what is today the premier Brass Band festival in Devon. There were way too many barriers and reasons that Bandamonium couldn't happen that made it even more important to Tim that it did.

Tim started playing the Trombone at the tender age of 8 and was lucky enough to be a Trinity college of music Junior and everything looked rosey on the music side till he discovered Rugby and took a sabbatical for 30 years.

Moving to Devon Mrs W let it slip that in the dim and distant past Tim had played the Trombone and so the village silver band started their persistent campaign of polite persuasion till eventually 8 years ago he relented and took up the Trombone again.

A few years later and moving to Bass Trombone it's fair to say Tim will play with whoever asks, please not too far away...

 

Craig Boulton

Craig was a late starter to banding, picking up tenor horn for the first time aged 17 but has made up for lost time since having played just about every brass seat across a dozen bands in Hertfordshire and London.He founded London Metropolitan Brass with a small group of friends (and long-suffering wife Jenny) in 2013. The organisation has been a huge success growing to three bands totalling 100 players. By day, Craig is a senior leader of software engineering teams, most recently with Microsoft.Craig is a Bandamonium superfan having conducted the Barbarians at Bandamonium 1 and bringing London Metropolitan Brass for Bandamonium 2 and 3. He is already looking forward to next year and is excited to be taking a role in the future of the festival.

Maggie Milledge

Maggie is our non-musical trustee. Her 2 boys (now men) started playing horn and tuba with Hade Edge Junior Band in 2006 and she was delighted to find brass band music so enjoyable. After moving to Devon in 2020 she became involved with Bandamonium, behind the scenes.
Maggie brings organisational and practical skills to the team of trustees combined with a desire to see brass banding be available to all.

Siobhán Williams (aka Mrs W)

Siobhan had a strong musical start learning cello, sax & piano- going on to study Music & Performing Arts at Uni as well as a brief stint in the WRAC band at Guildford & touring Germany in a soul band. However she was always split between music and persuing a creative path in many fields which has ultimately prevailed. She is the designer & co founder behind the Bandamonium brand as being married to Tim (and being the voice of reason) it was perhaps inevitable!
