Were can i find work in my area (NW England) for an amateur trumpet player?

im looking for work with amateur organisations like opratic societies and musical theatre groups to gain playing experience in these fields. i don't know where to start looking though

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Can't give you any specifics but I'd try searching for playing opportunities through two sources. Check out the local music stores and any nearby colleges. If those don't pan out talk to area band directors. Good luck.
