After years of composing and arranging music, running my own business, and generally working my butt off, it now appears to be paying off as one of my works - Excalibur - has been selected as a test piece for the finals of the National Brass Band Champion…lnkd.in/dcuEzGyd

Well that's the cornets and trumpets done - now on with the flugels and baritones! Just another set of brass brought back to life for school this term. 😁 lnkd.in/dAAGvytV

as 2021 draws to a close, I'm delighted to report that despite all the constrictions imposed on us by the COVID 19 pandemic in all its forms, I've still been a very busy chap with my music writing business. I've written 43 original compotions and 124 arra…lnkd.in/da_A88AJ

Here's my brass band arrangement of Coldplay's 'When I Need A Friend'. It's most appropriate with what's going on over in Ukraine at the moment. danceiswithmusic.com/product/when-i…

I've been working with Musikverlag Frank for 13 years as of today apparently - fantastic! I'm honoured about that. It's been difficult for them through Covid with bands not being able to play and therefore not buying music, but hopefully things can now re…lnkd.in/e8ehnbAC

Sadly, as many of you will know, for a number of reasons I have had to part company with SW Comms Band. I'm struggling with this decision at the moment, but didn't really have any choice circumstances being as they were. The band and it's members are fant…lnkd.in/eUKPwkgB

Well that's been a couple of week's hard graft getting all my music out there - but now it's all properly for sale from my own website lnkd.in/e2T_cZ-d or from 4barsrest.shop. There's also loads of it at musikverlag-frank.ch. Have a lo…lnkd.in/eBSYmp48

Great news for me! lovely write-up in the local paper ahead of next week's premiere of my 'Symphony of Somerset' in Exmouth. I've even been interviewed live on air by BBC Radio Devon about it - which was an interesting 10 minutes of my life! lnkd.in/ez2_3bBq

I can't believe I haven't posted on here for so long! I'm happy to say I'm now gainfully employed composing music for Obrasso Music, and now play tuba for Wellington Silver Band here in Somerset, UK as well as being Principal Tuba at Exeter Symphony Orchestra.

Having been accepted as their BBb Bass player, a vacancy for the post of Musical Director arose at Wellington Silver Band. I applied, and was successful. I am really enjoying the different role and hope it will continue for a good length of time.
