Steve Trigg is known as 'The General' and for a very good reason; he’s always got great ideas , has his troops (the hard brass corps) under control and is always well turned out and looking sharp. His influences and points of reference are varied and not at all rooted in jazz (in my opinion), but in the horns of the great and good soul and funk records of the 70’s - but then he and his great section can also play soft and beautiful too. Wonderful, melodic and punchy lines - and for this 'Generale', I salute you... PW Jan '21

I first met Steve Trigg in 2005 when we both performed on the Mod Aid single ´Whatcha Gonna Do About It' with Chris Farlowe, Ronnie Wood, Steve Cradock, Molly Marriott and a host of others. We kept in touch and I was delighted when Steve Cradock agreed to music direct my 2019 'New Adventures of PP Arnold´ tour and told me that Steve would be joining us on the tour.

What an asset he was to the band. A very cool, classy, man of distinction, he is an old school, true professional, great musician/arranger and a lovely, kind man. He´s an amazing player at the top of his game. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him and I definitely look forward to working with him again.

I’ve been in bands since I was 14 and nearly always favoured the sound of a horn section as part of the line up so I’ve worked with many top players and arrangers over the years, none more so impressive than Steve. His professionalism and understanding of what a song requires is second to none. A great attitude and work ethic, plus he’s one of the good guys and easy to get along with which is another vital asset and attribute when you spend so much time on the road or in a studio together. I feel blessed and privileged that our musical paths crossed and we have subsequently become great friends too.  (Photo by Allan McKay)

"Steve Trigg can assemble a great horn section - chart out some terrific parts - and get 'em killer ready to record - before you've even realised you need brass on your song!"

"So nice to be able to share the same stage with passionate musicians, who at the drop of a hat can also lead and own the stage – Steve Trigg, I would work with you again in a heartbeat"

He's not called 'The General' for nothing, Steve is a superb, passionate musician and an all round top chap.

" I've seen Steve play live  numerous time, cutting a dash at the side of the stage. He wrote a great brass arrangement when I re-recorded "The Coming Of Grace"  with Stone Foundation - effortless and just right. Pleasure to work with him and look forward to doing more soon!"

"I've toured with Steve Trigg on numerous occasions over the last few years and I've found him to be a top musician, honest performer and all round blinding geezer, 'nuff said' – its a big fat yes from me"

I always enjoy working with Steve Trigg.  We've played on several albums and live dates together.  He's a solid player, a skilled brass arranger, and I like his good humour and professionalism. 

"Steve is a killing trumpet player with a big sound and a big heart. I’ve enjoyed many great gigs with him over the years"

“ A wonderful trumpet and flugelhorn player, 

Steve has great empathy with my music and is very easy to work with” 

Johnny Coppin (All On A Winter’s Night album)

"I’ve known Steve for over 10 years – in that time we’ve worked together on stage and in the studio. Not only is he an excellent musician and arranger with a great sound and feel, he is thoroughly professional in all that he does – punctual, polite and easy to work with, I would recommend him without hesitation"

"I love the Heart and Soul Steve puts into my show when he works with me and how The Little Big Horns work out wonderful horn lines together and give it all on the stage. That's Tops in my Book!!!!"

"(The Little Big Horns are) The best brass section I've worked with since my time in Dexy's"

"Steve made an outstanding contribution to my rebooted videogame soundtrack for Transport Tycoon both in tracking section parts but more notably, knocking out some solo trumpet chops from serious to cheeky that had me grinning from ear to ear. He’s quick, smart, self-editing and totally reliable - a gifted player with wonderful musicality and vibe. It’s also been an absolute pleasure and a blast to share live music stages with him a few times. A first call"

My session with Steve and the Little Big Horns was a pleasure from start to finish. Steve was a big help regarding arrangements and they provided the authentic sound I was looking for on the day. Very pleased with the results.

"I have known and worked with Steve Trigg for over 20 years when the Little Big Horns augmented my band. Not only is he a brilliant trumpeter and musician but is also a superb brass arranger. He brings a lot of fun and dynamism to the stage too, helping to create a great atmosphere in the audience. Highly gifted, with a great sense of timing"
