Line Dancing - For Brass Band

Commissioned in 2026 by Milnrow Brass Band for the Brass in Concert Championships, Line Dancing is a musical depiction of the effects of consuming vast quantities of narcotics. The work explores the dramatic and often unpredictable journey through a range of altered states, capturing the initial feelings of euphoria and exhilaration before descending into moments of

panic, paranoia and anxiety. Through contrasting musical styles, shifting moods and changing energy levels, the piece aims to portray the chaotic and disorientating experience of a mind

under the influence.
