Back On The Case
This has been the longest gap between posts since I started blogging. Sorry.
Things have been busy. I had a terrible gig in Cardiff where the band get soaked to the bone, my Tom Tom caught on fire whilst I was driving (I’m trying to get that fixed) and my Mac has had a knock and [...]

Presenting: Eurobusk 07 Trailer 1 (of 2)

A Capital Change
After a lot of thought I’ve made plans to move to London with one of my best mates. Chris Birch (aka Birchy from Eurobusk 07) is going there to study for his doctorate in Music and I’m going to try and expand my playing prospects.

The video is taken from the Orchestra I created for the “Sound Ideas” Project a year ago. The piece is The Green Hornet from the movie Kill Bill (and originally I think from a [...]
Sweet Charity’s on Fire!!!!!
Like yesterdays post this too came from chatting with Mark about previous shows.
It was actually less than a year ago that we were playing Sweet Charity. We were just starting to play The Rhythm Of Life when the fire alarm went off. Mark and I played for as long as the MD wagged thinking that [...]
Matt Roberts and the Copacobana Love Note
I was reminiscing with Mark (the 2nd trumpet on the show I’m playing with this week) about some of the things that have happened during our time working with this particular show company and I thought its was worth a couple of posts.
It was the last night of Copa and we were on the play [...]
