from the composers discography, it doesn't look like it (and crap according to him, the piece is 43 min, holy crap). If you find out anything more, let me know. Does anyone know anything about the concerto for brass quintet and brass band that he did? I really like all of his stuff that I have heard or played, but I don't know any of the tuba solos? Good stuff?

I performed the concerto in its entirety, from memory. This performance went on to win joint first place in the competition.
Andrew has performed and competed in solo competitions, most recently winning the Linda Mowat Solo Brass Prize, and the RWCMD Concerto Competition with his performance of Derek Bourgeois’ Tuba Concerto. As part of his prize, Andrew will be spending this year working alongside Gareth Wood in a commission to write a new concerto for tuba and orchestra, to be premiered by Andrew with the RWCMD Symphony Orchestra at St David’s Hall in the summer of 2015.
