Janet Elston, Musical Director, started the Triggshire Wind Orchestra in 1984 primarily for schools on the north Cornwall coast – Wadebridge, Sir James Smith’s and Budehaven Schools with some players coming from Launceston and Bodmin. Originally for children, adults soon realised that there was a lot of fun going on and they wanted to join in, hence some slightly more senior players!

Prior to 1200 the area from Stratten to the River Camel was known as the Shire of Trigg and when looking for a suitable name for the newly formed wind orchestra, Triggshire seemed to fit the bill admirably. Janet Elston has an assistant Musical Director, Mike Brown.
