From the Gansch & Roses gig at Porgy & Bess on September 15th, 2009. I always struggle to believe that I get to share the stage with such unbelieveable players! Gansch and Rapa are two of the greatest in the world!!

I’ve been fortunate to play alongside some wonderful musicians on my travels over the past several years. I’ve also had the chance to meet some others who have long been my heroes. Here are some pictures with some of them – this album will keep growing as I have a chance to find some of my old photos!

The first gig on the Gansch & Roses “X-Large” Tour in May ’08 was at the Schagerl Brass Festival in Mank, Austria. We had a great gig which featured some special guests in addition to the usual band and was broadcast live, over the internet, on TheMusicPage.com.

These are a selection of the photos taken by the Brass Festival team – for the full collection, please visit the Brass Festival website.
