Bertie's Gonna Jumpin'

Bertie's Gonna Jumpin' is dedicated to Bertie, the composer’s family cat. Bertie is a cheeky black cat, full of character, who loves to disturb the neighbours! The piece is an up tempo big band tune, featuring the vibraphone.

Bertie’s Gonna Jumpin’ was a winning entry in the 2019 Foden’s Band/Love Music Trust Composers Competition and was given its premiere by the Macclesfield Youth Brass Band conducted by Louise Renshaw at Clonter Opera Theatre on Saturday 22nd June 2019.
