After playing the violin and piano for many years, I was given my first trombone by my wife as apparently I needed to play a proper instrument. I originally joined St Sebastian’s in 2005 and the band have put up with my bad jokes, interesting playing and musical genius ever since.

Most memorable playing moment …
Performing at Diggle Contest on Whit Friday in the middle of a storm.

Proudest banding moment …
Being able to show off the band to my family & friends at our amazing gala concert!

Previous bands …
A long time ago, I played 2nd violin in the Kent County Youth Orchestra!

Favourite piece …
My wife. Or Floral Dance, depending on the day.

Musical ambition …
To continue to enjoy playing music with good friends.
