- Espen Wallacher Haukås
Back Espen Wallacher Haukås Espen Wallacher Haukås (born September 1st 1985) is a Norwegian arranger and composer with lifelong links to many of the renowned brass bands on the Norwegian west coast. He started playing percussion at the age of 13, commencing his banding career with Haukås Musikklag in 2000, before quickly moving on to Eikanger-Bjørsvik in 2002. After some years of studying law at university (playing with Kleppe Musikklag at the time), he found his way to Manger Musikklag for the season of 2010/11 - the period Manger became European Champions in Montreux in May 2011. After five seasons as principal percussionist with Manger Musikklag, he stepped down to focus on work and family life and rejoined his elder musicians from his time in Eikanger at Bjørsvik Brass, were he still holds the position of principal percussionist. Espen has had the honour of playing at numerous contests throughout Europe, including performing at the National Championships of Great Britain with both The Fairey Band, and most recently the Cory Band. Working as an instructor and tutor from the age of 13, Espen has written a wide range of pieces for percussion as the repertoire is not readily available and had to be written especially for many of the groups and ensembles he has worked with through the years. After joining Manger Musikklag, he was given many opportunities to have his arrangements played at concerts, learning a lot from this and being inspired to arrange more for larger ensembles, full brass band and solo pieces.

- Kevin Norbury
Back Kevin Norbury Kevin Norbury was born and raised in the historic market town of Andover, Hampshire, in England. He has spent his life immersed and playing in brass bands and the accompanying culture. Originally from a Salvation Army background, he spent much of his working life in its music publishing activities. He was musically educated at Royal Holloway, University of London, and subsequently at the Royal Academy of Organists, Royal Academy of Music, and Trinity College of Music, London. Kevin was privileged to have worked under the mentorship of Ray Steadman-Allen and Leslie Condon. As one might expect, these characters had a huge influence on his musical development. In January 1998 he moved to New York to assume the role of music editor; a position held previously by Brian Bowen and Peter Graham. His time with the New York Staff Band was especially fruitful with works like ‘Badinage’, ‘Odyssey’, ‘Truth Aflame’ and ‘Proclaimers’. His work ‘Odyssey’ was used as the European Brass Band Championships test piece in 1999. He composed ‘Spirit of Adventure’ in 2008 for NABBA. ‘Odyssey’ and ‘Variations on “Maccabeus”’ have recently been used as test pieces in the UK. Kevin moved to Canada in 2001, where he briefly held a position congruent to the one he held in New York. Sadly, it did not last, and he moved back into high school music education in 2002. He retired from teaching in June 2020, and he and his wife have since moved to Port Rowan on the shores of Lake Erie. He is now the organist at the local Anglican church. They both volunteer for Birds Canada at the Long Point Bird Observatory. Kevin is a passionate arranger, composer, birder, history buff, reader, and language student. He is a committed piano accompanist and soloist.
