The fabulous trombonist Ulises Najera from Mexico City adds to the impressive line-up.

Back in the UK, Adam Warburton who plays principal trombone at Hammonds and co-principal trombonist at Black Dyke Band joins to promote the 'classic' mouthpiece range.

He is joined by the vastly experienced Phil Green who endorses the AT Ultra mouthpiece tuba range.

Europe and southern hemisphere

The important European market is enhanced by the addition of baritone soloist Thibaut De Bondt from Brassband Willebroek in Belgium, Jannicke Ellingson from Norway and trumpeter Luis Macedo from Portugal.

Finally, the southern hemisphere sees Mark Ford, the hugely respected, conductor, performer, adjudicator and educator come on board along with cornet and trumpet star Dominic Longhurst, conductor of the Willoughby Band.

In New Zealand the respected baritone soloist Steven Booth boosts the SM Ultra range and cornet soloist Harmen Vanhoorn, who plays the Alliance range, become artists.
