Bass Trombone - Matthew Smith

Matthew starting playing brass in April 2007, joining Fakenham Town Band junior band in November 2007 and quickly progressing to the main band in March 2008.

As well as the town band, Matthew enjoys playing with the Fakenham High School Jazz Band, Concert Band and brass ensemble. Matthew also plays bass trombone in the Norfolk County Youth Orchestra, and has played occasionally with the Fakenham Choral Society. Matthew has also been known to turn his hand to playing euphonium and tuba.

Matthew likes being in the band because "I think that the music is very enjoyable to play, and sounds fantastic! Aiming for a high quality of sound, and the entire band getting this makes it a great achievement. Also, having a whole new set of friends, and a great atmosphere at every rehearsal and concert is a very valuable thing, which is hard to find elsewhere."

Away from music, Matthew is an air scout with the Fakenham Lancaster Scouts.
