We hear that David Blackadder, principal trumpet of the Academy of Ancient Music, has been told that the trumpets he had stolen from him on Monday on a London commuter train have been found safe and (soon to be) sound.

More details as we get them.

In an age of instant online alerts, it’s getting harder for thieves to get rid of their swag.

    Good news. The result of a cunning plan, perhaps…

    Phew. Blimey David.

    Dear David. I just watched you playing at the royal wedding. You were amazing and I felt proud to know you.
    Can you tell me if you were playing one of Frank’s trumpets?
    It looked like a Tomes trumpet but of course it may not have been.
    I would be interested to hear from you.
