THURSDAY JULY 23 2026 MARCO NATALE-MILES -TRUMPET & FLUGELHORN

Marco Natale-Miles came up through the junior jazz programme at the Royal Academy of Music, and he has kept the same range ever since: at home in a big band, a tight jazz combo, or the orchestra pit. At Googlies he brings both trumpet and flugelhorn, two instruments built for different jobs. The trumpet cuts through a room; the flugelhorn, with its wider bore and rounder tone, pulls the room in close. Expect him to move between the two all night, matching the horn to the mood of the tune. He is a rising talent, and Googlies got there early: this is far from his first Thursday night gig at Botany Bay.
