Adam hired Sick Trumpet for a Private event (available in Southwark)
"We happily booked Matt after initially looking for a Saxophonist for our evening wedding party - and we are so glad we went with the Trumpet instead! Matt played upbeat and incredible music alongside our amazing DJ, and he had our dancefloor live all night with his music and energy, joining in with our guests on the floor! There was prompt communication prior to the day, and we were given the opportunity to disucss music genres, and provided with example mixsets so we knew what to expect. To anyone not sure about a Trumpet I would say don't hesitate to book Matt, especially if you want a lively and fun party that your guests will be talking about for months after! Thank you Matt.

FAQs about hiring Trumpeters in Southwark

What do you call a trumpet player?
A trumpet player in the UK is typically called a "trumpeter" or "trumpet player." The word "trumpet" is commonly used in both British and American English to refer to the instrument. However, in the UK, the word "cornet" is also sometimes, more rarely, used to refer to a trumpet, especially in brass bands. This is because cornets were more commonly used in brass bands in the UK than trumpets until the mid-20th century.
Can trumpet players also play the saxophone?
Yes, most trumpet players can learn to play the saxophone. The embouchure (the position of the lips) for both instruments is very similar, and trumpet players often have the necessary finger dexterity to play the saxophone. However, there are some key differences between the two instruments that trumpet players will need to adapt to: - Range: The saxophone has a wider range than the trumpet, which means that trumpet players will need to learn to play notes that are not in the trumpet's range. - Mouthpiece: The saxophone mouthpiece is much larger than the trumpet mouthpiece, and it requires a different embouchure. Trumpet players will need to practice with a saxophone mouthpiece to develop the necessary muscle control and flexibility. - Intonation: The saxophone is more challenging to intonate than the trumpet, which means that trumpet players will need to pay more attention to their pitch. - Fingering: The fingerings for the saxophone are different from the fingerings for the trumpet, although there is some overlap. Trumpet players will need to learn the new fingerings for the saxophone. With practice, most trumpet players can learn to play the saxophone at an intermediate level. However, it will take more work to play the saxophone at a professional level. Encore has multi-instrumentalists on its books, including trumpeters who play the saxophone.
