The National Youth Recorder Orchestras were formed in 2002, and have already played at a number of prestigious venues in the UK, including Birmingham Conservatoire and The Sage, Gateshead, as well as in Holland and Australia.

Since 1993, Onyx Brass has been dominating the international brass chamber music scene. Following their recent performance in Plymouth, where they also officially opened the university's new Roland Levinsky Building, Philip, who had reviewed the recital for The Herald, suggested they might like to include his own brass arrangement of his Lone Ar-ranger! in their repertoire. Tuba player, and the ensemble's spokesman, David Gordon-Shute said: 'Having now had a chance to hear it, yes, I think that there might certainly be a slot for it either in concerts or as an encore!'
