Whitburn Band is delighted to announce 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.

Cameron said: “I’m delighted to have joined Whitburn, and look forward to working with the band and everything that we have planned in the coming year.”

Charlie Farren, Whitburn Band Chairman, added: “We are delighted that Cameron has joined the band. He comes with great experience, and he will be a great addition to our percussion team.”
