Very proud of our former musicians at the Albert Hall over the last few days: Rob Norrie (Mrs Norrie’s son and Braden Jackson’s uncle) on trumpet; Ruth Wardle (formerly Ruth Tarr) playing an amazing solo; and Sergeant Andy Spain having his composition/arrangement of Sunset during the finale.
Marines LIVE online NOW!!!!
Brilliant to see several ex-UVHS music students at the Albert Hall
