Trombone quartet Slide Too Far is to perform at the Durham Trombone Day.
TROMBONE players have been invited to a day celebrating the instrument in the north east of England.

Jazz specialist Kevin Holbrough is due to feature, as is trombone quartet Slide Too Far, originally formed from students of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The day will begin and end with a massed blow for everyone involved.
