Take your pick between Paul Kiernan (CWS Glasgow) or Mark Boyd (Whitburn).
The former has a fantastic silky smooth tone but has a dodgy haircut.  The
latter has the best technique of any BB trombonist I've ever heard.

Gordon Simpson
ex percussionist AND trombonist (for those old to enough to remember!)
