He left the Guildhall in 1988 and spent six years travelling round the country with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. Nowadays, he works as a freelance trombonist in London, playing with all the major London Orchestras and Ensembles. He has also written a book about world travel as a freelance musician.
