Hi. I am a professional, reliable and experienced trumpet player.
I am available as a trumpet for wedding services and receptions with a wide range of repertoire. I can offer discounts when more than one service is booked, e.g trumpet for the signing of the register and trumpet for the processional/ recessional or trumpet with backing tracks for the reception.
Please listen to my audio recordings of trumpet/vocals and professional backing tracks.
As a trumpet player I can perform as a soloist for weddings with an organist, unaccompanied or with vocals and professional backing tracks.
Music for the wedding breakfast/ reception can be provided with the music of solo trumpet plus backings (see video) through a professional Roland portable, battery powered PA system. The benefit of battery powered equipment is that you don’t need to worry about pat tests or power sources. Also there is more flexibility in choice of position for the performer, less room is needed and less risk of trip hazards.
As an extra, the Morris Minor show in the picture can be booked as part of your day/ event to give that vintage feel.
I can add other musicians if required such as a piano player and a vocalist, depending on your budget and venue size. I also have various ensembles for the wedding evening reception
Background information
I have studied classical trumpet to MMus, LTCL AND LLCM standard. I am happy to play for weddings and other church services and to perform last post or fanfares. My repertoire also includes orchestral solos such as the Haydn Trumpet Concerto and I run a brass quartet.
I have passed the Graduate Diploma in jazz at St Andrews University. I play lead and jazz trumpet with Dr Jazz and the Cheshire Cats big band and many small jazz ensembles such as Six and Three, guitar and trumpet duet, and I regularly play for musical shows in the pit. I have done studio work and played for many different bands and singers.
Based in Widnes, Cheshire
