Trumpet

I’m a crossover trumpet player, and play everything from commercial / stage playing, shows / pit bands, orchestras, folk stuff. I’m actively seeking new work, so please get in touch via phone or email me if you need a trumpet player.

I’m available for studio work, or can remotely record and mix trumpet or horn section parts.

I’m currently playing with The Destroyers, and The Royal Auxiliary Air Force and depping here, there, and everywhere.

I’ve had some fun gigs. Some of these include / with:

Coronation of King Charles III | Wembley Stadium | BBC Radio 3 | Rachel Tucker | PP Arnold | Opening Ceremony of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games | Pizza Express, Soho | Sinfonia Smith Square | 2018 Goldcoast Commonweath Games (handover) | Funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II | Lords Cricket Ground | Played for Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath | West Side Story… and loads of others.

I’ve also been lucky to play a bunch of festivals, including

Glastonbury | WOMAD | Boomtown | Greenman | Kendal Calling | Shambala | Cropredy Festival | Nozstock | Moseley Folk Festival | Underneath the Stars | Leopalooza | Lindisfarne | Rock Oyster | Swingamajig | Purbeck Folk Festival | Shrewsbury Folk Festival | Towersey Festival | Gate to Southwell | Ramsbottom Festival | Godiva | Eindhoven Festival | Blue Lagoon | Timberfest | BalterFest | How the Light Gets In | Sunrise | Hackfest | Valleyfest | Doune the Rabbit Hole | Secret Garden Party… and loads of others.

My hope is to add a bunch of videos and clips of me playing stuff here, but I’ve not got around to digging any bits out yet. Please check back soon.
