Today was my debut on tuba in a church setting. I took it down to a day on intercultural worship at St Paul’s, Oadby, hosted by Songs2Serve. There were several guitarists and keyboard players, along with various strings and other instruments, as well as lots of singers but, as I expected, I was the only brass representation. Nothing I played was stellar but it was a useful step in stretching my skills and, perhaps the most appropriate choice for me on a day about stepping into what is unknown and listening to other tongues and voices.
