About me
Traditionally from a brass band background, I have worked with many bands over the years playing trombone in soul, jazz, rock bands and most recently ska band, Duvet. I have also sang in multiple settings, beginning in a female duo Stained Glass Ceiling, which I'm still involved in and more recently an electronic trio Fade of which I front.I am a member of Citrus Funk, a function band in which I sing, play trombone and acoustic guitar. I sing covers in bars all over Yorkshire and Manchester and often work behind the scenes for artists in the studio which involves backing vocals and brass parts. I have taken part in community projects before and during my time at Leeds Beckett university, my most recent project being 21st Century Brass which I ran in four different settings and something I'd love to do again.
Projects
- 21st Century BrassAs part of my final dissertation at university I created a project that would reignite brass as an entity within the community. Through a series of workshops in different environments I lead groups of brass players through an arrangement of popular song "Valerie", getting different results and responses from each group. This project allowed me to challenge myself in the area of composition and arrangement, leadership and creativity. Here is the website to the project, https://ameliamansfield97.w
