Episodes and Echoes has been recorded, and will be released soon....
Episodes and Echoes, my concerto for tuba, has received its premiere recording, by my great friend (And fellow Liverpool supporter!), Les Neish.Les commissioned the concerto, and gave it its premiere back in 2005. He has performed it on numerous occasions with both brass and wind band accompaniments. The cadenza was originally written with Les, but left open for the soloist to experiment with - and Les has taken it to a new level!
