Trumpets Against Trump
2018 - PRESENT    SELF-INITIATED
Trumpets Against Trump is a band made up entirely of trumpet players, who gather to perform a discordant drone piece whenever Donald Trump visits the UK during his presidency. Blowing badly on our lowest notes is an act of therapeutic exorcism, where words fail, in solidarity with all those affected by Trump and his policies. Anyone with a trumpet is invited to join the band, musicians and non-musicians. There were no auditions – the worse the better. 

The band was established in 2018 and disbanded on 7th November 2020. Upon Trumps relection in January 2025 the band has reformed.
