About The Michael Laird Brass Ensemble
( b Harpenden, Herts., Aug 22, 1942). English trumpeter . Although he studied the modern trumpet at the RCM (1962–4), a crucial influence on him was the baroque trumpeter, Walter Holy, whom he met in Cologne in 1963. Urged by David Munrow, Laird also took up the cornett in Munrow’s Early Music Consort. Further milestones include playing with the Steinitz Bach Players, in the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields and in the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble
