Danny Hammerton - Trumpet and Vocal Team

Born in Darfield near Barnsley, Danny is a multi-instrumentalist. At six years old he started playing piano and violin, then added the trumpet when he was 13. Danny studied at Leeds College of music (where he got a first class degree in jazz!), and there he added the trombone and the saxophone to his repertoire.

Danny was a member of the Pasedena Roof Jazz Orchestra for 8 years and has also worked extensively with the Brass Hoppers and the Picadilly Dance Orchestra to name but a few. Recently Danny could be seen on the Jools Holland Show playing trombone.

Danny enjoys playing trumpet with the GMO and is a member of our vocal team.
