Don’t Forget Your Mouthpiece

Olly Green, 4th horn in the Philharmonia Orchestra, died very suddenly a few days ago. He was only 28.

I can’t claim to have known him beyond having met him a couple of times, but the horn playing world is a small one and I know that his loss will be deeply felt within it, and beyond.

The trivial things I have been getting wound up about this week have been put sharply into perspective.

My thoughts are with Olly’s family and friends.
