Joe's Reviews

Joe was superbly professional throughout rehearsals and during the performances, and was very easy and pleasant to work with. He has excellent skills on the trumpet, has outstanding sight reading abilities and also has the chops to back it up. He provides an excellent service and I would highly recommend working with him.

Joe performed as the lead trumpeter in the pit orchestra of our musical production 'Crazy For You'. He was superbly professional throughout rehearsals and during the performances, and was very easy and pleasant to work with. He has excellent skills on the trumpet, has outstanding sight reading abilities and also has the chops to back it up. He provides an excellent service and I would highly recommend working with him.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

ENERGY! One thing that is super important now with horn playing is bringing a life and soul to the party! Check out some of my videos especially in Dat Brass to see what I mean...

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios early this year Performed at Glastonbury, Wembley Stadium, BBC broadcasting house, Alexandra Palace, The Roundhouse as well as frequently playing across the world in Serbia, France, Germany, Spain and The Netherlands.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Great question, my Trumpet hero is Wynton Marsalis! Not many players have such stunning tone but also have complete control over the instrument!

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Tough one - I would say opening The Truth Stage at Glastonbury in front of 6,500 people!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Absolutely no problem at all! Drop me a message and we can adapt things round for you.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Of course! I have a set of DJs with my own Horn section HJ Horns that can not only provide a DJ service between sets but DJ plus horns/percussion/strings!

How much time do you need to set up?

Not much at all, maximum 1-1.5 hours as soon as a PA is set up we have a set list ready to go to create the atmosphere you would like!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Definitely, my job is to adapt for what you would like for your event! Whether that is a certain song, dance or anything you have in mind I'm sure we can chat it through and make sure we find what works for you!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically as well as electronically if needed with pedals!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Definitely, let us know what the song us and we can even create an special arrangement just for you!
