Rob Straw c.t.a.b.r.s.m. has played in the brass band movement for the best part of 30 years. Whilst doing this, in 1998 he became a member of the ‘New Orleans Strollers’, a trad. jazz outfit of some repute. This gave Rob a taste of a musical style totally different to that of brass bands and he actively pursued other avenues of this genre. It is within the last 12 months that he has helped form the ‘Take 2 Big Band’ playing piano and more recently ‘The Eloise Short Quartet’, playing a mix of trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet. He has been teaching brass for the last 6 years and is currently enjoying life as a pro musician.

Matt Whiteley t.h.e. b.e.s.t. was brought up in the world of orchestras and brass bands as a full orchestral percussionist although he has always had a passion for jazz drumming and big bands. After teaching percussion throughout school, college and university Matt decided that music should not be his main profession and joined a local IT company where he now enjoys life as a director. After being approached by the ‘Eloise Short Trio’, the lure of playing with pro musicians again enticed Matt back into gigging regularly. Matt currently plays with Big Bands, Jazz Quartets, Brass Bands and can also be found in the studio doing session work.
