Paul Duffy, the Jäger Maestro’s trumpet player, has spent the last 11 months writing and recording solos for his first album, out this week, which already has plaudits around the world gushing over it.
The album, Only just begun, features Paul expertly performing, not only on trumpet but on a gargantuan 30 instruments and even singing! At one point , Paul himself plays every instrument in the brass band to accompany his own solo on trumpet.
The CD also contains cameo appearances from a wealth of top brass band names such as Black Dyke Band, LSO trombone virtuoso, Peter Moore, Richard Marshall and John Doyle.
Speaking about the CD, Paul said, “This has been so much fun to make. I’ve loved the challenge of doing something totally new and innovative.”
To have Paul Duffy in the Jäger Maestros is a huge privilege and this CD will no doubt rocket him into superstardom.

"There wasn't a person in the room who wasn't full of praise for the brilliant Jäger Maestros. Members at the Todmorden Hippodrome were in for a treat for their annual end of season party, now dubbed as "the best one ever". Within a couple of minutes, the Jäger Maestros had everyone laughing, dancing and having a great time. From young to old(er) the band appeal to everyone with their comedy and fantastic music. The people at the Hippodrome thoroughly enjoyed their night and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a good time."
Mark Whitehead, Todmorden Hippodrome.
