His composition tonight is an arrangement for the band of his previous orchestral piece of the same name which was first performed by the Guildford University Orchestra in 1993.

The University Concert Band

The band was formed by Anne James in 2008 with the aim of bringing together a range of performers from within the university and the wider community.
From small beginnings the band now comprises 35 players ranging from undergraduate and post-graduate students to members of staff (and even several children of staff), local music teachers and members of the wider Liverpool community.
One of the aims of the band is to encourage members to develop their arranging, rehearsing and conducting skills.
