Thank you and good luck with your arrangements too. Price is stunning - I’ve just recorded transcriptions of 6 songs too. ❤️
I also arranged Florence Price’s Nobody Has Known The Trouble I’ve Seen for 4bcl + 1cbcl.
Premiered at Lowfest and Published by Alea Publishing.

Glad you enjoyed! It’s a banger of a work - just pure joy!
The bcl community I’m sure would welcome a new work! I have a couple of possible events and Stefanie Gardner runs low blow in Arizona which is a huge community low clarinet group.
Fabulous piece!
The most fun I’ve had with my low clarinet buddies in a long time! Lowfest 2025
Thank you to the incredible Matthew Banks for this arrangement, my contralto part and for his awesome alto clarinet playing.
Volume up all … happy Friday!

Listening and selecting takes for my new album. I’m on bass clarinet, with Kim Davenport playing piano. Florence Price songs today. Keep a look out for some taster videos coming up too!
You can try and exclude us, but we will always support each other. With every knock we will get back up, and with bruised resolve we will carry on. We will not go away, or stay hidden and silent.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I’ve also been in Tacoma recording a new album of music for bass clarinet and piano by black composers with pianist Kim Davenport. We also performed all the music post recording.
Watch this spot for release details . Music by David N Baker, Florence Price, S Coleridge Taylor and Malcom Solomon
It’s been a busy two weeks … I’m just back from a USA trip where I performed at Low Clarinet Fest and had a bit of fun too!
Who wants to play bass clarinet in Cyprus this April?
I’ll be holding a short course there with two incredible colleagues!

Thank you for listening. Glad you enjoyed this.
Really enjoyable concert with Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble in Sheffield last night. I was also able to give the UK Premiere of Counterweight by Ailís Ní Ríain.
Heading back to Sheffield after playing at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival with Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble.
Concert in Firth Hall at 7:30 this evening: performancevenues.group.shef.ac.uk/event/hard-r...
Lovely to be back with Hard Rain SoloistEnsemble today in Belfast. Playing in Huddersfield and Sheffield this week.
An excellent breakfast to start the day before rehearsals and a concert! (French Village, Belfast).
Statement from the RMA:
I love working with words and collaborated with Jon Iles on Dracula Bite Size. Jon adapted the script and I wrote the music. We’ve performed this quite a few times live and our album is on Spotify:

I’m loving transcribing songs at the moment and have a couple of projects coming together including recording Coleridge-Taylor’s Sorrow Songs and music by black composers in January with Kim Davenport.

The Guardian announces they're leaving Twitter (X)
“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism"
I specialise in low clarinets. This is a piece I recently wrote. From Under The Sky The Sound Rises was recorded in Canada House that is the new home of Harmony Works in Sheffield.
Hope that you enjoy.

Goodbye X! Hello Bluesky.
Looking forward to connecting with lots of music colleagues.
The more low clarinets in my feed the better! 🙂
