I’m pleased to announce that since the beginning of the week, I’ve taken over the Lead Trumpet chair on The Rat Pack, Live From Las Vegas European Tour. Our previous Lead, Andy Cuss, decided that, after over 2 years with the show, enough was enough and left us at the end of our week in Hannover, Germany.

I feel privileged to be named as his successor. Andy is a terrific Lead player and I’ve been fortunate enough to play in the section with him for the past 20 months or so. I’ve learned a huge amount from him and will miss having him around! I hope I can keep up the high standard that he set for us.
