Shanks brothers reunite at Whitburn

Whitburn Band has announced the signing of Cameron Shanks on percussion. 

Cameron, who is also a member of Bellshill Salvation Army Band and the Household Troops Band of the Salvation Army, joins Whitburn from the cooperation band. 

His banding career started at the age of seven on tenor horn in the Salvation Army before he moved on to percussion. 

Cameron played with Langholm Town Band and Unison Kinneil before joining the cooperation band. 

The move to Whitburn means he joins his brother, principal euphonium Chris Shanks, in the band. Cameron, who has experience of performing at the British Open, Nationals and Europeans, said: “I’m delighted to have joined Whitburn and look forward to everything the band has planned in the coming year.”
