FAVOURITE BAND PIECE(S) |
English Heritage - Won the Nationals on it with CWS Glasgow! Dambusters March - but only when Sandy plays Tuba in it!!! The Kingdom Triumphant (Eric Ball)
|
|
FAVOURITE PLAYER(S) |
This could get me a lot of stick if I mess anyone out! I'd better say, any pupil who tries hard and does things to the best of their ability. Based on outright talen though I'd have to say Roger Webster. Take talent out of the question and it has to be Sandy!!!
|
|
OCCUPATION |
I'm not really sure at the moment - it's something to do with music. At least, that's what they keep telling me!
|
|
FAVOURITE FOOD |
Starter: The seafood soup in "La Cassa" - Valkenburg, Netherlands Main Course: Curry - and lots of it! Desert: Someone already stole mine, so I'll just say more curry!
|
|
FAVOURITE DRINK |
Icfe cold water or, if I'm feeling like pushing the boat out, a fresh orange and lemonade. (Honest!!!)
|
|
NON-BRASS INSTRUMENT(S) |
Right, this is VERY debatable! My second study at RSAMD was piano, but I dropped it for Natural Trumpet. You REALLY don't want to hear me playing either of them! I'm "learning" violin at the moment too. You'd need to ask my teacher about my progress though! I once played trombone and mouth organ in a show. Thankfully there isn't a recording of that!!!

|
HOBBIES |
Suffering through Hearts matches. Taking Danny, my Irish Setter, for walks when the weather's good. Looking for excuses NOT to take him for walks when the weather is bad. Winding up Sandy!!
