TIME TO BOOK YOUR NEXT EVENT
Hi there,
Hope all is going well with my valued family, friends and supporters. I hope 2026 is delivering all that’s right for you and you are happy and content.
I have just returned from being on the road performing. It was so rewarding bringing my music to new audiences with performances at the Upper Hutt Cosmopolitan Club, which was huge, man what a venue. The next day I headlined at the 50th Anniversary of the Wairarapa Country Music Club. Then it was on to perform at the Tararua Club. This trip was facilitated by my good friend Wayne R Heath NZs No1 Country Tribute Artist. Wayne has had a successful career entertaining and recording throughout NZ, Australia and U.S.A.
It was an absolute pleasure performing with Wayne. I just loved his performances and it is easy to see why he has teamed up with some of New Zealand’s stars in the past. Names like Brendon Dugan, Dennis Marsh, Eddie Lowe and many more.
It was so cool to perform for the Country Music Club in Carterton. It went over extremely well and they loved the variety. Which got me thinking, how much I would love to perform as a guest artist for other artistic groups. Is your group having a concert and needs some variety? I can provide an excellent show to enhance yours. I can also provide the sound system if required, and can MC your show if you need one. Choirs, dance groups, brass bands, orchestras. Let’s join together and make something happen.
The work this year has been so varied and I have been so fortunate to perform gigs that need to be loud and raucous to the quietest of background music. This takes skill but also makes you oh so busy when you can cater to just about anything. It’s also made me feel lucky that I have the equipment to handle these occasions. With expert sound and instruments from my sponsors EDWARDS Sound, CarolBrass and Kenderdine Electrical.
I’d also like to acknowledge a company that isn’t a sponsor but is always there to help when my 9 trumpets need to be gig ready! ABI Music on Auckland’s North Shore has been so good when I need a few dents taken out of my beloved instrument or a few slides or sticky valves needing relief. Thanks so much ABI Music for always being there. I highly recommend them.
As the year charges ahead it’s time to book in the TRUMPETGUY. I would love to play a part in your festivities to Christmas and beyond. Let’s make it a super 2026-27 summer season.
Your crowd, patrons, friends and family work hard and deserve a great night out. They want to be entertained. Do it with John McGough the TRUMPETGUY.
Until next time…..It’s bye bye from the TRUMPETGUY
