Hello world! I'm a UK-based professional trombonist, occasional DIY enthusiast and the biggest EVER fan of scotch eggs, stouts and porters: as a result of the latter I have to go cycling/running/swimming (in the sea - colder the better) quite a bit too! Turning pro in 2000, I've been lucky enough to work in the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Cardiff (2001-2002), Philharmonia Orchestra, London (2002-2012) and now my young family and I are settled into the beautiful Peak District of central Britain, where I play bass and contrabass trombone with the Orchestra of Opera North, Leeds (2012-). In between counting bars rest I also work as a freelancer, soloist, chamber musician and teacher (RNCM, Manchester) and am very keen to "do my bit" in helping to promote the trombone across all genres: I hope you enjoy these videos and thank you for visiting!
