Helen Crayford, young trumpet player, Kent
Feb. 28 She loves to blow-her-own-trumpet - does Helen: Because she is too young to appear in public - four year old Helen Crayford had to be filmed in the air over the Atlantic playing her silver trumpet for a recent television programme. Helen, the daughter of Marshall Crayford a professional trumpeter and musician took to blowing her own trumpet at the age of three. Experts say she is a born trumpeter - she reads music better than her ABC and owns her own professional standard instrument. Her father has received many offers for Helen to perform but her age precludes that and the offers have had to be turned down.
