Zelda - Trumpet Soloist, Maurice Murphy. NYBB, National Youth Brass Band. Conductor Harry Mortimer.

Zelda, played as a Trumpet Solo by Maurice Murphy. Accompanied by the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain.
The band’s 40th anniversary was celebrated in 1992 with a concert in The Barbican, London. The band also appeared on television’s ‘Blue Peter’ and released its first CD, ‘40 Years Young’. This featured Maurice Murphy as soloist, and proved to be the last time the band was conducted by its old friend and the second President, Harry Mortimer.
