Marc plays Trumpet and Flugelhorn, to compliment different genres and timbres of music. He performs on the legendary Eclipse Artist Trumpet for a truly beautiful vintage sound. Marc can also cater for all different type of events and play as self contained setup with equipment if required. I began studying the trumpet at the age of eighteen. My close friends encouraged me throughout my early years, having been professional musicians themselves. I soon developed a passion for playing the trumpet. During that time I've played in various bands including “Flora Symphony Orchestra”, “The Quirinus Band & Bugle Corps”, “High Five Brass Quintet” and the Party and Cover Band “Die Kleinenbroicher” to name just a few. In 2011 I was given the enviable opportunity to study and advance my Big Band skills with the world-famous trumpeter Thomas Inderka. I also studied with the international trumpet legend, Gábor Tarkövi, one of the world's best classical and solo trumpeters.
