He has performed with the likes of the Royal Northern Sinfonia, Bournemouth Symphony and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestras, and after completing a fellowship in chamber music at the Royal Academy he won the Worshipful Company of Musician Brass Prize, has been a featured soloist with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and won numerous awards in chamber music and as a soloist at the National Eisteddfod.

Great initiative

Speaking about the link, Les Neish told 4BR: "It's super news that Pete has accepted the opportunity to be part of this great initiative and to be able to link up with him again.

The Young Tubas project is steadily building back up again after the enforced 2 year break and having Pete onboard will only help this even more."

The next session is Sunday 27th November (10.00am to 1.00pm)
