Barrie Webb read Music at Cambridge University, afterwards studying trombone with Vinko Globokar and conducting with Constantin Bugeanu. He holds the title Professor of Music from the University of Huddersfield, where he was Head of Performance and taught conducting, trombone and composition until 2009. Now a freelance performer and researcher, he has recorded extensively on CD as soloist and conductor, and his performances have been broadcast by numerous radio and television stations.
