SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
I am a professional trumpeter and brass musician based in Thornton, West Yorks. I play jazz to a high standard plus I like to play lead trumpet. I'm often performing in big bands, function groups, pop bands and even brass bands. I was a member of the Royal Artillery Band in the army for 5 years and even learnt double bass to a moderate standard whilst there.
