As a composer, it’s always an exciting moment when you are waiting to rehearse a new piece for the first time!

‘Advice for a Butterfly’ will be premiered by Edinburgh Royal Choral Union on the 24th of May in St Cuthberts 🎶

Some ‘experimental’ trombone recording with Alex…

We may have booked the wrong mics and the wrong room but it still sounds great 😊
