Eric has been working with three wind bands in the Netherlands — once with a life long family connection, as well as making links to direct the brass section of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra.

He also talks about his freelance connections with bands away from his home — as far as Scotland, Yorkshire and Norway and his joy at being part of a Yamaha led band project that saw stars provide tuition and inspiration as well as new music to add to the brass band repertoire.
