Working from my own studio, I provide trumpet & other brass for tv composers, producers, artists and singer songwriters.
I have a fully soundproofed and acoustically treated room with top of the range mics (a selection of Neumann's, a Coles 4038, a collection of Shure's & a Sennheiser MD441-U). I can also contract & record other personnel on any requested brass instrument, my colleagues being some of the most in demand players across all genres in the country. See below for some clips of a few of the projects I have worked on - music for TV, film, production music and artists and songwriters - and to read some words from people I've recorded for. |

Testimonials
Working with Sam is always a real treat. His brass work on my recent music for BBC One really brought those projects to life. He's an amazing arranger and all expertly recorded. He's my go-to brass guy. A genuine talent.
Paul Farrer - TV composer: The Weakest Link | Michael McIntyre's Big Show | The Chase Sam - Horns were spot on again, absolutely PERFECT. Thanks so much, just what we needed & they sounded sweet! Great playing & nicely recorded & delivered - will definitely use you again!!
Rick Parkhouse - Songwriter & producer: Green Day | Scouting for Girls | Cheryl | Little Mix I've worked with Sam a few times now and he really is second to none. His tone is gorgeous, his understanding of what is required spot on and his playing is a joy to behold. He brings everything I send him to life and beyond, he is my trumpet player for life - couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Brollyman - TV & media composer: Animal Misfits (PBS) | Emmy Award winner |
Sam is an absolute pleasure to work with. He recorded multiple trumpet parts remotely, throughout my score for Grayson Perry’s Big American Road Trip (Ch4). The performances were top notch & recorded beautifully, using excellent mics in a dry, treated space. I won't hesitate to give him a shout as soon as the time comes for more trumpet.
Alexander Parsons - TV composer Sam was and is a pleasure to work with. He has an ear for the right part, and his tone is sensational. I Can highly recommend the experience of working with him remotely!
Pete Jones - Media | Ad | Library Music Composer I asked Sam to record what I thought was a tricky high solo trumpet part and he blasted it out with ease, creating the perfect level of excitement and energy the track needed. A highly professional and friendly service, he turned it around very quickly. The recording quality was also perfect and we had no problems blending the sound with our existing live orchestra recording.
Jamie Salisbury - TV & media composer: Treason | JoJo & Gran Gran | Kit & Pup |
Sam was a delight to work with. Very flexible & efficient. An amazing tone on the flugelhorn, cornet & euphonium. I wish all my scores needed brass now!
Miguel D'Oliveira - TV composer: First Dates | First Dates Hotel (Channel 4) | Louis Theroux I wholeheartedly recommend Sam if you're looking for a remote trumpet recording service. I came to him with a project which he was able to turn around in super quick time. He got the feel of what I was going for straight away & the sound he makes is just glorious.
James Jones - TV composer: Three Day Nanny, Ch4 | Rich Kids On Instagram, Ch4 | The Muckers, BBC | Touching The Wild, PBS Sam is my go to for playing, recording and fixing brass and horns. He makes life so incredibly easy and the results are always outstanding.
