4BR catches up with the Cory cornet star on a Monday morning to find out about his latest project — a studio recital series performance alongside his great friend, pianist, Ewan Gilford.

Recording under Covid-19 compliant regulations at the World of Brass recording studio in Wellingborough, Tom performs works by Saint-Saens, Oskar Böhme, John Larsson, William Himes, Christopher Bond and Harry James — the latter someone who is a bit of a hero to him.

Tom talks about the project and the music chosen to be performed, as well as well as his own commitment to keeping up a full practice regime and how he is looking forward to getting back to concert and contest mode with the world's number 1 ranked band.
