SC: I am Sean. I have severe to profound hearing loss and wear two Danalogoc hearing aids. A former member of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain (NYBBGB), I am a cornet and trumpet player. I play lead trumpet with the Phil Shotton Big Band, am guest lead trumpet player in various other Big Bands, and hold the principal cornet seat with the Shepherd's Group Brass Band.

I am a qualified secondary music teacher and a Qualified Teacher of the D/deaf/F. I am also a staff member of the NYBBGB and a trustee of both NYBBGB and Yorkshire Youth Music. Besides this, I add subtitles and translate into BSL any content that organisations want me to. A recent project I did was the Foden's Brass Band Heritage interviews.
