Flugel Horn

“I remember hearing the National Band for the first time live in 1985 as a 15 year old and just being blown away. That experience and the recordings of the National Bands have really inspired me to try and be a part of a National Band. I have been lucky enough now to have been in a few bands playing alongside some great players and under some great Musical Directors. I can’t wait to be involved in this new National Band adventure under David Bremner.”
