Vincent Trumpet

Vincent is versatile and above all else loves to create Music (with a capital ‘M’). Playing trumpet, flugel horn, tenor horn, french horn, trombone and harmonica as well as his vocal talents, he likes to keep his finger in many pies.
Having performed for years in A grade Brass Bands and the Melbourne University Orchestra, it’s not uncommon to find Vincent serenading with Mexican Mariarchi band “Los Romanticos” or improvising hard funk grooves with Melbourne hammond combo “Milch”. As well as studying trumpet at Melbourne University’s Conservatorium of Music, Vincent did a minor practical study in classical voice and has performed in groups ranging from choirs to musical theatre, singing solos accompanied by symphonic wind bands to accompanying solo singer songwriters. Most of his vocal acrobatics however are deployed while fronting 12-piece party band “Mr Toad’s Wild Ride” at pubs, corporate functions and festivals. He has also appeared on The Denise Drysdale Show with the Channel 9 band and with his own high school Blues Band “Instant Blues” as well as supporting Hamish Blake on Channel 10’s Thank God You’re Here. In 2005 he completed a tour to China with the Australian Youth Band performing on Trombone (and occasionally didgeridoo). Highlights included performances on the Great Wall of China and for the International Olympic Committee and moonlighting at Beijing jazz clubs. He also plays with the renowned Australian folk pop artist Liz Frencham at music festivals across Australia and is featured in her latest albumn “You and Me” singing a duet they performed long ago at an early Combo Bombo gig, “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. Vincent graduated with a Bachelor of Music and Diploma of Education from Melbourne University.
