Profile	Tim began playing the cornet at the age of 7, originally playing for The JS87 Junior Brass Band. He then moved to The Sellers International Junior Brass Band and took the role of principal cornet for 3 years, winning a few awards along the way (Youth in Brass 1st prize & Best Principal Cornet to name a few). Tim comes from a musical family, his dad is a trombonist, his mum a singer and his brother a pianist. Tim’s father and Grandpa taught him to play and read music. During high school he joined Kirklees Youth Wind & Symphony Orchestras and toured Italy, Spain and Poland. Tim’s dad (Gary Pulleyn) has always played in musicals and theatre and encouraged Tim to keep playing even when he wanted to give up. Tim followed in his father’s footsteps and played his first ‘pit gig’ (as a deputy) at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield at the age of 16 for the show South Pacific. Since then, Tim has worked in various pit orchestras and has played in venues such as Sheffield Crucible, Bradford Alhambra and Leeds Grand Theatre and appeared on Yorkshire Television. He’s currently a student studying Sculpture & Environmental Art at the Glasgow School of Art and has a part time job working for the Apple Store in Glasgow.
