Thomas played in the bass section at Fodens band for many years in the 80's and 90's. I played alongside him for about 3 years. The recording is from a cd entitled "Year of the Dragon" that we recorded in 1992 on the Doyen (brass band) label. I think it's Tuba and 4 trombones. The rest of the album is normal brass band line up, and includes some stunning arrangements by Howard Snell (former principal trumpet, LSO), the bands conductor at the time.
Thomas is from Switzerland originally, and came to the UK to play in Brass Bands and study. He's now an excellent conductor as well as fabulous player.
Mail me if you want more details. Brass band cd's can be ordered from the Midland Cd club or Doyen.
