Crispian Steele-Perkins has received widespread critical acclaim as a trumpet player with a purity of tone and artistic subtlety second to none. He collects and restores antique trumpets upon which he has performed and recorded with The Academy of Ancient Music, The Kings Consort and The English Baroque Soloists. Appropriately, he plays the theme tune to one of the BBC’s longest-running and most popular TV programmes, the Antiques Roadshow, among many other screen credits, including most of the Star Wars series!  We look forward to meeting him, with his many instruments, as much for his playing as his renowned enthusiasm and wit.
