What do you play, Brian? Music-wise not instrument-wise.
Anything people will pay me for, pretty much: big band, orchestral, shows, choral societies. Last weekend was lead trumpet in big band for an Ella/ Miller concert, followed by a Bach B Minor Mass. Tomorrow is orchestral (see below), followed by rehearsals for 42nd Street and Barnum.

Actually, the last one is a splendid amateur orchestra I've been in for 24 years - one I do just for the fun of playing.

I've got a couple of cousins who used to play in the Glen Miller Orchestra.
They must have been good. I prefer Basie by a mile, but Miller still gets the audiences in.
 
The old bridge at FerryBridge, from the eastern bank

Until into the late 1960s/early 1970's this carried the 'Great North Road'/A1 over the River Aire at this point
The slight foreground shadowing, is because I'm stood under that flyover (now bypassed itself, by the new A1, a mile or so to the west

This image is taken from that bridge
