Hi. Welcome to my website. This is a pic of me in 1985, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I hope it does me justice in showing my unending enthusiasm for music in general and trombone playing in particular.
The site is undergoing some improvements and long-overdue updates, for the lack of which I apologise to those of you who have visited here in recent years. I've begun a blog about my involvement in music since age 12, when I was first given a trombone. I hope you may find some interest there. The rest is devoted to my music groups and theatre piece, and I hope they will encourage to hear and see them and, with luck, book them. Thank you. (July 2019) |
