Brass Tracks is a professional quintet based in Scotland dedicated to performing music from the last 500 years to the present day and making it accessible to audiences young and old.

Brass Tracks was formed in 2013 by Edinburgh trumpeters Finlay Hetherington and John Sampson. Members come from varied musical backgrounds including theatre, orchestral, chamber music and brass band. Since the forming of Brass Tracks the group have performed at various interesting venues such as Glasgow Central Station (as part of Virgin Trains’ ‘Live at Central’ concert series), led the ceremony for Fife Sports Awards and performed at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.

Brass Tracks also feature in a number of live and studio recordings, from BBC One’s prime-time drama, Rillington Place to an album by the artist Fish (the former front man of the British rock band Marillion). Over the last year Brass Tracks, with support from Enterprise Music Scotland, have performed successful concerts at music societies across Scotland, including; Dunfermline, Newton Stewart, Stranraer, Torphichen and in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran.  Brass Tracks is represented by Classical Musicians Scotland.
