Trumpet feature with optional Percussion. The history of rock and roll can be traced back as far as the musical influence of the first African slaves to arrive in North America, but the term was not used until 1951, when Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed coined the name from the song "My Baby Rocks Me with a Steady Roll" and launched a radio programme called Moondog Rock'n'Roll Party. The style borrows heavily from rhythm and blues and early rocks stars such as Ike Turner, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley had a huge influence through the newly-invented juke box and liberated the youth of the day by giving them a music of their own. Rockin? Trumpets gives your brass ensemble the chance to revisit the rock and roll years by featuring the trumpet section.

Dark Arteries was commissioned by Rambert Dance Company and first performed in May 2015 with the Tredegar Town Band sharing the stage with Rambert dancers. Dark Arteries is a personal and at times highly wrought response to the Miners’ Strike and its aftermath. It is in three movements the first and last are expansive with widely contrasting sound worlds from dark brooding melodies and the haunting sounds of solo flugel horn to wild syncopations on cornets suggestive of an imposing but often bleak mining landscape.   In 2016 Higgins re-worked Dark Arteries into a virtuoso concert suite which captures the essence of the work in threeconnected movements. Dark Arteries Suite was premiered by the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain conducted by Bramwell Tovey at the Barbican Centre London 22 April 2017.
