British Trombone Society Day - Bradford on Avon
It was a great pleasure to be invited as guest soloist and clinician to the recent British Trombone Society Day in the fabulous surroundings of Leigh Park Hotel in Bradford upon Avon, Wiltshire. The days activities included workshops, recitals, quartet and group performances, massed blows and a final informal concert.

One of the highlights of the day was the first UK performance of Manny Albam's 'Geological Survey'. Twelve trombone players from the South of England joined forces to perform this fantastic work to a very appreciative audience.

A thoroughly enjoyable day was had by all involved and anyone wishing to attend next years BTS Day should contact Roger Green - please email me if contact details are needed.
