Until the 1940’s the small bore (0.450”) trombones that Elgar and Holst had known and played were in universal use. I improved my orchestral playing skills fast – I had to! My natural cockiness was just about tolerated but I found that my more experienced colleagues were very powerful influences. The average age would have been about 40, so that as a 19-year-old I felt very junior.

Most brass and many woodwind players had been military musicians early in their lives and had acquired infallible reading skills and general resourcefulness that made them superb at professional work. There were relative few orchestral musicians around in those far-off days and their career paths were very different from those of today. In July 1950 my career as a professional orchestral player began when I took the job as 2nd trombone of the orchestra at Bournemouth, then known as the Bournemouth Municipal Orchestra, working in a very pleasant seaside town in the south of England.
