Meanwhile, Jordan's background started in the Salvation Army playing for Stowmarkets Corps Young Peoples Band and the Anglia Youth Band. He has also taken part in the Territorial Youth Band course for the last 5 years on euphonium.

More recently he played for Ipswich & Norwich Co-op Band and is now studying a BMus in performance at the RNCM in Manchester. Jordan joins fellow student Nick Birch on euphonium.
