Jonathan Mott has been  conducting brass bands since 2005 when he gave up full time playing (his tuba was too heavy). He has been musical director of the Wolverton Town Band, Raunds Temperance Band and since October 2008 the Enderby Band. During this time he has also guest conducted various other bands including the all girl charity band, 'Boobs & Brass' taking them to  the Whit Friday Marches in 2007,2008 and 2009 as well as several concerts and weekend trips.

Jonathan started playing the cornet at the age 7, following his father, grandfather and great grandfather into banding. His early playing, and indeed conducting, experience all came within the Salvation Army. In 1992, he left Kettering SA Band and subsequently played with William Davis Construction Group Band, NSK RHP Ransome Band and GUS Band.

As a player he has worked with many of the leading brass band conductors of our time and his playing experience has involved many high profile competitions, concerts, overseas tours, numerous broadcasts (TV & Radio) and several CD recordings.
