Watch: Performing with Elvis Costello and being a horn player at LIPA

Members of the LIPA Big Band joined Elvis Costello on his last UK tour, performing nine specially arranged songs to sell out crowds at Liverpool Olympia and the London Palladium. Billed as the LIPA Horns, the septet included two LIPA Music students, Megan Roberts and Dan Edwards.

We spoke to Megan to find out more about the performances and what it's like to be a horn player at LIPA.
