Soloist

From July 23rd he will be a featured soloist with the BBC Elstree Winds in Ostend & Bredene Music Festivals, before moving on to Royan in France in August with the Brass Reflections Ensemble.

September takes him to Turin, with the Staines Salvation Army Brass. Whilst there, he will donate four instruments from his collection, to a young brass beginners group.
