Dubbed 'The Beatles Last Song', Now & Then was released in November 2023. It's a soft rock ballad written and recorded by John Lennon in 1977, and finally released three decades later by the surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Here, it is arranged for string quartet, with reminiscent textures inspired by producer George Martin's string arranging for the classic Beatles' song Eleanor Rigby. Suitable for intermediate students and professional corporate/function ensembles.

Delighted to have been appointed Sound Force Big Band’s new MD and vocalist. Today’s gig at Kop Hill Climb was an absolute banger, great event (all for charity) and a great crowd!

I think there might be a few more big band arrangements on the horizon!

After a period of summer leave I went to visit this talented bunch again. So pleased to hear they have been working on a couple of my arrangements. It was a privilege as ever to take them through ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ and ‘Wade in the Water’ and hear the progress they have made!

Both titles are available through the links above, for BIYB I have added treble clef parts in. These versions are available on request 🎶

On a very hot Wednesday night how cool was it to be visited by not one but two British Army Bandmasters? We think very!

A visit to us for introductions from the outgoing to incoming Bandmasters of the British Army Band Colchester to help keep our relationship fresh has now become part of their unwritten Standing Orders! Thank you to both Andee and Tom for giving up their own time for visiting. Good luck to Andee in your new The Royal Corps of Army Music role, you have been wonderful, and welcome Tom, in Army speak STANDBY!

Both were delighted to issue a uniform each to another two starting new chapters. Big congratulations to 12 yr olds Aayush and Joesph. Well done boys it now properly begins.

Pompeii by Bastille won a Brit Award for Song of the Year and is 10 years old this year!! This feel good anthem for concert band has added rhythm section parts for bass guitar, guitar and piano. Works as a static piece for marching band and would sound great with additional Corps of Drums!

Always a pleasure to pop over and spend an evening with this incredible bunch! All supported by an amazing team of volunteers 🎶🎵 🎼

Last night we were thrilled to welcome back to our Bandroom British Army Band Colchester Bandmaster Andee. And what a natural musical energy and connection she has! No wonder she is now selling her own arrangements via AndMusic (see what we did there Andee)

But last night was about the “Boys”, with certificates presented to Grade 3 Oscar, Grade 5 Jake & Grade 6 Matthew, all on french horn and a uniform was issued to Reuben.

Three French Horns and a Uniform. Sounds like a potential marching band blockbuster movie. Watch this space!
