Peterloo is the derisive name given to an incident that happened on16th August 1819 in St Peter’s Fields, Manchester, when an orderly crowd of some 80,000 people met to hear a speech on political reform. On the orders of the magistrates they were interrupted by the Yeomanry, who attempted to seize the banners they carried, and to arrest their speaker, Henry Hunt. Cavalry was sent in, and eleven people were killed and four hundred injured in the ensuing panic.This overture attempts to portray these happenings.

Composed for the 2008 Mineworkers and All England Masters champions, Desford Colliery Band, phoenix Rising pays homage to the band’s recent resurgence as a real force in the banding movement, echoing its prominance in the contest scene of the 1980s and 90s.
Emulating the rise of a Phoenix from the flames, the piece juxtaposes sweeping melodic gesture and relentless driving rhythm, culminating in a high adrenaline tour de force.
The work received its official world premier at the Regent Hall Festival of Brass gala concert on the eve of the 2008 National Brass Band Championships and has since been taken up by bands across the globe, seeing performances in New Zealand and Belgium.
