REPERTOIRE

Classical grandeur. Film favourites. Modern pop.

We love the elegance and grandeur of a traditional fanfare — and we’re just as happy to go rogue. From a royal procession to Fela Kuti, a film favourite or an unexpected pop anthem, we bring the same care and musicianship to every style.

The music should feel like you. Tell us what you love, whatever the genre, and we’ll explore an arrangement for your entrance, procession or celebration. Our repertoire ranges from solo trumpet calls to music for the full 12-trumpet ensemble.

We also compose bespoke fanfares, creating original music for your occasion.

PLANNING YOUR EVENT

Booking your fanfare trumpeters.

Where do you perform?

Our network of professional players spans the UK, so we can offer performances nationwide. William is based in Bristol and Nikolaj in London, but our reach extends well beyond both cities. We can also travel abroad; include your venue and location when you enquire.

How long does a fanfare last?

Our performances range from several seconds to multiple minutes, depending on the client's requirements. We can play short fanfares between toasts or speeches, or longer processional fanfares for an entrance.

How far in advance should we book?

Ideally, enquire at least three months ahead. We aim to be as flexible as possible, so please contact us about availability if your event is sooner.

Do you need amplification?

No amplification is required, giving us flexibility in the spaces where we perform. Tell us about your venue so we can help you choose a suitable ensemble.

How many trumpeters can we book?

Our formations range from a solo trumpet to an ensemble of up to 12, including duos, quartets and a seven-piece fanfare. We’ll help you choose the size and repertoire to suit your venue and event.

Can you arrange our chosen music or compose a new fanfare?

Yes. Alongside our classical, film and pop repertoire, we offer bespoke arrangements and original fanfare compositions. Tell us which piece or idea you have in mind when you enquire.

Can we have personalised trumpet banners?

We offer bespoke trumpet banners for your event. The banners are yours to keep afterwards as a lasting memento.

How do we enquire about a performance?

Contact William and Nikolaj with your event date, venue and ideas. We’ll help you explore the ensemble and music options for your wedding, conference or ceremony.
