Playing an improvised trumpet solo at the Royal Albert Hall with the Dorset Youth Jazz Orchestra

Most Embarrassing
While playing for Dorset Youth Wind Orchestra I had to play the 'horse whinny' at the end of 'Sleigh-Ride'.....I made a dreadful noise but was later to learn that it had been recorded by my 'friend' who still likes to play it to all that will listen!
