Since then I've played with many bands and many styles. As of late - well it seems like forever – I have been arranging music for a whole range of bands, from pop, orchestral, theatre shows and marching bands. I need a new pen now,mine has just ran out, having just arranged the music for a brand new theatre show, 50 YEARS OF MUSIC (see link from this web site).
