I am a professional trombonist, composer and conductor with a career spanning big bands, orchestras and theatre. From early training with Kneller Hall to the Band of HM Welsh Guards and beyond I have had the privilege of performing with many of the world’s top musicians and of shaping ensembles across genres. My love of composition began during my studies at Sheffield University, where I was mentored by Arthur Butterworth and Darryl Barry. Since then I have written works for wind and brass bands in classical and jazz styles, created soundtracks for films, and enjoyed sharing music through teaching and conducting with passion and humor.
