Hello all and welcome to 'my' myspace.I am a trumpet player based in Scotland. Former student in Manchester both at the Royal Northern College of Music and Manchester University.My time now is split between doing trumpet teaching, rehearsing and performing. Sometime in between I eat and sleep - oh, and if I'm lucky, some practice done of my own.I was first introduced to the trumpet by Wynton Marsalis, listening to a recording of the Haydn and Hummel trumpet concertos. Some years later I got to hear him and his Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchesra - which was terrific.Here is an idea of how diverse my trumpet playing is from the last month or so of gigs:Solo Flugel horn gig - charity gig in a church, Fife
Trumpet player in 10 piece Balkan band - Barbican Centre, London
Trumpet player in Reggae band - Wickerman Festival, Dumfries
Trumpet Player in orchestra (Bach Magnificat), Edinburgh Festival
Solo Trumpet in an arrangement of Prokofiev's Peter and The Wolf, Edinburgh Festival
Trumpet player in 8 piece pop band, Glasgow venue
