Stuart Fowler recording additional trumpet for “Risen! – The Musical”

“Walking with the King of Kings” – featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard on vocals and keys with Stuart Fowler on trumpet. From CD “Precious” – recorded and produced by Ross Gill

So the last of the instrumental recordings are now complete for the Risen! double CD.  Last week Stuart Fowler adding his fantastic trumpet playing to “There is Path,” “Cleopas Come On” and the “Judas Suicide.” Stuart had already played on other tracks which include a horn section such as “How Great Are His Signs,”   “Hosanna,”  Give Thanks To The Lord,” “Heart On Fire,” and the title track Risen!

I first met Stuart nine years ago when he visited Crofton School as part of a music team from St Vincent College. Trumpet players are few and far between and so I introduced myself pretty much immediately! When he left St V’s Stuart studied trumpet at the prestigious Trinity College of Music, London.

Stuart has been a fantastic supporter of Mustard Seed Songs – playing in all our first musical  -“His Story”- productions at places like the Kings Theatre, Southsea and Central Hall, Westminster- Also at Mustard Seed concerts and on albums such as “Precious.”

Stuart’s trumpet playing featured in the song of last week’s blog – “Put Your Hand In The Hand of God.”  He also features in today’s song “Walking With The King Of Kings” – so thanks very much again Stuart.

Incidentally Stuart is the cousin of my dear friend, Dr Graham Giles MBE who is Director of the charity Europe2 Europe. You can read about some of the amazing work Graham does, particularly in Romania, by visiting www. europe2europe.co.uk
