Colin Hales
MMus, BMus (Hons), LRSM
Colin Hales, the founder of Hereford Fanfare Trumpets, spent over 25 years as a military musician, the last 15 as as Bandmaster. He has composed, conducted and performed fanfares in virtually any scenario imaginable, even on horseback!
Some of Colin's compositions have been very formal, others mixed his depth of skills and passion as a composer and arranger with his knowledge of modern pop music to provide a bespoke musical extravaganza.
With Hereford Fanfare Trumpets Colin is offering a new service to Herefordshire and the neigbouring counties, and with it the exciting opportunity to enrich your special occasion or event with your very own fanfare.
Contact Colin to find out more or to discuss your event.
