About the blog

This is a blog about being a professional freelance trumpet player. It is a cyber representation of things I have done, am doing, that I hope to do and that I love. From my professional music life to the photography and videography projects I do for fun.

Trying To Crack The London Scene

When you’ve grown up playing and developing all of your contacts in the midlands it’s tricky to find a route into London.

If I’d been to college in London I’m sure things would be much easier but unfortunately that wasn’t an option for me. I’m trying a number of things to find a crack into the gig circuits here and I’ll be sure to review them at some stage so I can write about which ideas were effective and which were stupid. :)

I’ll be sure to keep on trying so that you have lots of things to read about. Eventually I’ll find a return on one of my efforts and I can build form there. Who’d have thought there was so much work to do without even picking up the trumpet?
