He has previously played with Clipstone Colliery, Burbage (Buxton), Darley Dale, Newstead, BTM, Desford & Leyland.

He is a keen supporter of local solo contests, joining the party late at the tender age of 28. Notably becoming New Zealand Bass Trombone Champion in 2007 and 2008 and Best Trombone at British Open Solos in 2009 and 2010.
