'Composing has become a really important creative outlet for me and certainly a way of calming down my OCD and my invasive and repetitive thoughts.'
Gavin, a composer in association with BBC National Orchestra of Wales, said he hoped playing at the Proms would make more people fall in love with brass bands and change out-dated ideas.At 35 minutes, Gavin's Concerto Grosso is quite challenging, but he said he thought the audience would have their "socks blown off" by the performance.Growing up, Gavin said music was always in his life as his whole family played in brass bands.
"Composing has become a really important creative outlet for me and certainly a way of calming down my OCD and my invasive and repetitive thoughts," he said. He said he wanted to bring "a Welsh band together with a Welsh orchestra in a big celebratory work" and approached the Proms about performing at the Royal Albert Hall.
"They think about the Hovis advert, Terry Wogan and the Floral Dance but bands are very different to that," he said. Tredegar Brass Band is one of the most well-known and decorated in the UK, featuring in ballets, Pride marches and even in films, having a cameo in Pride - the story of the LGBTQ people's efforts in the miners' strikes.But solo cornet player Leanne Porthouse said performing at the Proms would be a massive moment.
