    The long-awaited clarinet content (that nobody asked for), is finally here! A clip from the WFUV radio show - a quick stop in the middle of the US/Canada tour with the wonderful @elbowofficial back in the Autumn. A bit of context for the newbies here: I had a 15min lesson from the one and only @fieldbrass on the clarinet last summer and that was it - naturally followed by summer festivals and a tour of America 🇺🇸

    Hopping on the 2016 trend… it was quite a year! The year I met my life saving bone marrow donor Thomas, plenty of fun gigs (egg shaker duet with Howard), teaching at the RNCM, filming in Copenhagen, NYC with Joe, presenting a BBC programme, LA with mum, jamming with Dick Nash, David Bowie BBC Prom, being in a movie with Liam Neeson, just acting natural with Sion & Jon, hanging out with my Dad who I still miss everyday, brass quintet giggles at Ally Pally, a fun festival in Tromsø, LPO low brass in force, first time playing at Brixton Academy with the band Daughter, being presented with an award at the Houses of Parliament, picking up my first campervan, super fun tbn section with Joe Stilgoe, and some hilarious Christmas games with the family ❤️
