Tuba Star Les Neish has been busy of late promoting his new CD 'Salt of the Earth', which has been receiving impressive critical acclaim.

Impressed

The CD must also have impressed some of the people at BBC Radio 3 too, as the 'Rumanian Dance', the uptempo opener of his CD was played on the breakfast show with Rob Cowan on Monday morning.

The piece is only 2 minutes long as it’s a fiery opener, but it worked as a fantastic ending to the breakfast show on Monday morningLes Neish

Exposure

Les told 4BR: "I'm absolutely delighted to have a track from the disc played on the BBC. The piece is only 2 minutes long as it’s a fiery opener, but it worked as a fantastic ending to the breakfast show on Monday morning. This might help to give the tuba a bit more exposure and maybe it will convince people to take it a bit more seriously!"
