Joan Hinde
Joan Hinde (21 October 1933 – 22 January 2015) was a British trumpeter and entertainer.
Life
Joan Hinde was born in Eckington, Derbyshire. At the age of six she began receiving cornet lessons from her uncle, who was the conductor of a local brass band. In 1966 she married Kenneth Hopson and in 1967 gave birth to her daughter, Claire. She and her husband resided in Felpham, Bognor Regis, West Sussex and were close to their daughter and son-in-law who live nearby. She was perhaps the UK's oldest working female trumpeter, and was proud to have been a lifelong member of the very excluside Grand Order of Lady Ratlings. She died at a nursing home in Chichester, West Sussex, on 22 January 2015, aged 81.
Works
Hinde's showbusiness career began on the BBC radio programme, Children's Hour when very young in the early 1940s. In her teens she progressed to regular and legendary appearances on BBC Variety Bandbox, holding her own against fellow performers such as Billy Ternent and Eddie Calvert. It was during this period that she was the only female trumpeter in the world to broadcast Haydn's famous Trumpet Concerto.

Your eyes are telling me you want to lose control.
Let me take you away.
Everybody needs a friend to believe in.
Let me take you away.
Livin’ this is so much better than dreamin.’
Let me tell you the feeling that I have you should
know.
And you feel it everywhere that you go.
Let me take you away.
Let me give you what it is that you’re needin’.
Let me take you away.
Been working hard, everyday.
Nobody listens to a word you say.
You want your fortune, yesterday.
It’s no illusion when you’re hungry for more.
It doesn’t matter what you say, but what you do.

Your eyes are telling me you want to lose control.

Feel the joy in your heart, in your soul.
Lose control.
