A great lead trumpet and a lovely guy. May he Rest In Peace. Tommy Moran.
Agreed Tommy. A modest man of great ability who deserved better recognition. However, all the local trumpet players had no doubts of his standing. As you yourself told me no less a person than Bruce Adams rated him very highly and there is no greater praise for a lead trumpet player than that.
He anchored the Big Idea for many years and also was a key player(in Big Blunt End with Rick Taylor (now also gone). Lovely guy to boot.
