Ben on SoundBetter

Versatile UK-based session trumpet player with extensive live, touring and recording experience across ska, funk, pop and commercial music.

Spent 6 years touring nationally in a professional ska band, supporting artists including Red Rum Club, Bad Manners and Mad Caddies, developing strong live performance, tight section playing and high-energy stage experience across festivals, venues and private events.
Experienced lead trumpet player for premium function and wedding bands, confidently performing a wide commercial repertoire ranging from Stevie Wonder and soul/Motown classics through to Robbie Williams, Taylor Swift and contemporary pop — with experience reading charts, learning material quickly and delivering polished live performances under pressure.
Also performed and recorded with a 6-piece neo-funk project, bringing strong improvisation, creative horn arrangement ideas and studio experience alongside dynamic live musicianship.
