Geoffrey Gilbert is one of the most celebrated British flute players of all time.

He was born in Liverpool and and studied at the Manchester Royal College of Music under Joseph Lingard. During his career Gilbert was principle of the London Philarmonic Orchestra ( aged 19!). He was one of the first flute players to play on the silver flute we know now and during his career he was a professor and the Royal Northern College of Music, Trinity College of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and James Galway and William Bennett were some of his students.

He was an incredible man who we can only aspire to be like.
