Peter Manfield

I was trained at Kneller Hall, Royal Military School of Music, to play the tuba, string bass and bass guitar.

Upon Leaving Kneller hall, I joined the lifeguards band (the senior regiment in the British Army) where I was trained to ride a horse and play tuba at the same time!! I have played for royalty, including the queen, on many occasions from afternoon tea to Trooping the Colour (queens birthday parade) and most other state occasions.

I transferred to the Sandhurst Band and served there for four years before moving to Devon. I play with several orchestras and bands including rock and trad. I also play in theatres for shows and panto. I serve in the territorial Band of the Devon and Dorset Regiment.

I love the Variety of music, new numbers, the musical challenge and the striving for perfection that Blurred Vision offers. Since joining the band, all the members have become great friends.
