Hi Gary! Thanks for your message! I haven't seen Leigh for a while but I did speak to Noel and he said that you need to contact Gary Wilder (he runs the site). I don't know if you can email him from the Eclipse site but he is on facebook if you want to contact him that way.

Hope all is well!

Let me know when you're in London - would be cool to hang and talk about geeky trumpet stuff! :)

Take care

No hard feelings Garance. After all, we only need find a hobo, groom him then stick a penny whistle in his mouth and we've got a reasonable likeness!
