Welcome to www.davethornton.co.uk, where you will find a wealth of information about internationally renowned euphonium soloist, David Thornton, as well a library of handy hints and tips, programme notes, and information about the York euphonium range.

David Thornton was appointed as principal euphonium of the Black Dyke Band during July 2000. 4barsrest.com, the Internet magazine commented "...it was the position he was destined for……he has made it his own with a series of concert and contest performances that have been invariably breathtaking." His debut CD, ‘Three Worlds’, was awarded Solo CD of the Year for 2004 by the British Bandsman magazine. In May 2007 David released his second solo album, ‘Devil’s Duel’, to great critical acclaim.

David tutors at the RNCM, the University of Huddersfield and Chetham's School of Music, as well as holding visiting tutor roles at the Birmingham Conservatoire and the RSAMD. He is also a Schrieber-Keilwerth York Consultant and Performing Artist, and plays exclusively on York euphoniums.

David is now regarded as one of the foremost euphonium players and teachers of his generation and is in constant demand as a performer and clinician throughout the world.
