There is a great opportunity to hear from one of the leading female professional trombone players in the UK this evening (Monday 8th March — 6.30pm GMT) when the Brass Bands England's 'Brass Foundations' team link up with Carol Jarvis for the latest Facebook episode of 'Bring Back the Brass'.


Every week the team will be speaking to significant figures in brass banding and beyond — and to kick off they will be speaking to the multi-award-winning trombonist and educator.

In addition to being one of the most in-demand session musicians in the UK, Carol is a long-standing professor at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music.
