    • ‘Ave a Banana

    • Price range: £20.00 through £25.00
    • ‘Ere’s a medley faw yer. In 2022, CLS Brass Quintet needed a few Cockney tunes arranging sharpish, so after a short plea on FB, it seemed that that didn’t exist. Quick solution, do it yerself. So here is ‘Where did you get that Hat?’, ‘Oh I do like to be beside the seaside’, ‘How much is that Doggy in the…

    • (Overture to) The Pirates of Titipu

    • Price range: £30.00 through £40.00
    • Here is the Overture to a piece called The Pirates of Titipu, a tribute to predecessors Gilbert and Sullivan by Hollywood writers Vibrul and Gallstein, arranged here for Brass Band. There are four well-known tunes, 'We're fellows both Hearty and True!', 'Let me not in Sorrow's Arms', A Felon's life is a Hopeful One' and 'I like to sing the…

    • This is a 10-minute run around Gilbert and Sullivan.  All the big hits are here, dotted with quotes from even more.  Doing D’Oyly Carte Opera in the 1980s and early 90s, I once asked a friend to cover some shows for me.  On the phone, as he wrote in his diary, he had a mental blank when it came to…

    • A contemporary work about the Hiroshima bomb. The title is the date and time of the explosion. The first half of the piece is utterly innocent, a busy early morning street scene building up. But the plane is heard overhead, and after that it’s pandemonium, musical Chaos. Not without form though, and I hope that the recurring sequence, on which…

    • Price range: £20.00 through £25.00
    • A Thali for Trombone is an Indian meal of four short movements served within two very short outer movements called Silver Pots, which is after all what thalis are often served in. The trombone imitates a sitar in 'Dall and Dosa', while the piano plays tabla (Indian drums). The remaining 'dishes' are Lamb Bhuna, Bombay Aloo, and Pickles and Pops,…

    • My favourite guitarist Jo Satriani has a lovely finger-tapping piece on his 3rd album called Day at the Beach.  As so often happens, I was inspired to write a piece in similar vein.  When he and Steve Vai came to Tower Records many years ago to sign CDs, I was there in the queue, clutching an A4 envelope with my…

    • This is a light tune. Light in style, floaty in feel, the trombone plays fairly high throughout, and is very much in the old-fashioned solo mode. You can hear it live in the Virtual Venue.

    • Air Moving. This is simply one of the most beautiful tunes I’ve ever heard, by Kathryn Tickell, the brilliant Northumbrian pipes player. She gave me permission to arrange it for trombone quartet so here it is. The original tune is published by Not Them Again/Purple Patch publications.

    • Here is the trombone and piano version of Air Moving, also arranged for trombone quartet elsewhere on this site. To do both versions I acquired the kind permission of the composer, Kathryn Tickell, who wrote it for her renowned band of Northumbrian pipes, violin, accordian and guitar.

    • Encores are too long. This one is a minute and a half but there are a lot of notes. Mostly in 5, it’s a bombastic zoom up and down various arpeggios, always tongue-in-cheek (which makes it a lot harder to play). For use as the encore to the recital for which it was written (as is the case here), before…

    • So Bombasticity it is. It is a feeble, trombone-like made up word, it doesn’t say Love and Peace, and it doesn’t mean what I thought it might have done even if it was a word! But it has the hook, and if I made it up, it means what I want it to: just a bit of a swashbuckle.

    • Four old favourites: Tiptoe thru the Tulips; Yes Sir, That's my Baby; My Mammy, and Me and My Shadow, that sit perfectly for trombone quartet. In fact the trombone is in this context more variable than the voice. Can you sing a pedal F?

    • The hook here, and hence the title, is two repeated notes, with which the whole band joins in several times, and maybe the audience/street-liners after the end as well.

    • This is very much another walk, like my ‘Winter Walk’ piece. And it is similar to that piece in some ways, though when writing this I was thinking of a day my wife and I spent walking between Craster and Dunstanburgh Castle, on the Northumbrian coast. It was sunny and lightly breezy, lovely conditions, and the North Sea was very…

    • This was originally a ‘chops break’ piece for Bones Apart, a simple tune that would be sparing on the embouchure and would therefore be a valuable asset in a concert programme.  But though it’s short (3 minutes) and has only simple slow notes in it, I discovered having finished it that the ideal chops break is in fact called a…
