Outstanding

The appointment is in recognition of his outstanding research, scholarly work, teaching and conspicuous service to the institution he has served with distinction for over 20 years.

Emeritus Professor King has spent 28 years in the UK and his international profile and career as an academic and leading figure in the world of band musicianship continues to develop through his continuing long association with the University of Salford.
