Committee 2024

Conductor and Musical Director - Bob Haselip

Bob Haselip has been directing the Littlehampton Concert Band since October 2003. He took over the band at only 24 years old having already had a long musical career with having studied music all his life. He originally joined the Littlehampton Concert Band when he was 11 years old and just starting the flute. He then left the band after about 5 years to pursue other musical activities, gaining valuable experience with other bands and ensembles including Horsham British Legion & Canterbury Christ Church University Concert Band. Bob has now come full circle and is enjoying working with the band he first started with.

As well as conducting the Littlehampton Concert Band, Bob occasionally directs other groups including standing in with other bands, and has conducted stage shows. He is also no stranger to playing, having regularly performed with a number of other musical groups including the Southdowns Concert Band and the Littlehampton Concert Band's own Giocoso Quartet on flute and piccolo. Bob is also a pianist and keen arranger of music having produced a lot of arrangements for local amateur shows and some exclusive works for the concert band as well.

Bob has always been a keen promoter of youth music having won awards at a number of local competitions himself, including awards from the Arun Young Musician of the Year competition. Now he is often the other side of the desk adjudicating or comparing similar competitions and festivals.
Treasurer - Hazel Haselip

Hazel Haselip began her musical career at school and pursued her talent through the Women's Royal Army Corps. She has played with a host of local bands and orchestras giving her a wealth of experience - ideal for leading the Clarinet section of the band. As a qualified book-keeper, Hazel is also the perfect person to keep the band's accounts in order.
Librarian - Janet Donnellan

Janet was sitting quietly in a restaurant one day when a rabble of musicians came in chattering excitedly about their last performance. Janet's talent for the flute was soon discovered and she has been with the band for several years.  Janet keeps the band's ever expanding library in order.
Chairperson- Gill Askham

As well as being a talented flautist, Gill ensures there are plenty of fun things for the band to do.
