After completing his music education, Lamb became military bandmaster for the Band of the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and the Band of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's).

Lamb edited many classical works for concert bands, for example, Nibelungen March, from Gottfried Sonntag (German composer) to the motif "Siegfried-Ruf" from the opera Siegfried by German composer Richard Wagner, the overture to Le roi d'Ys by French musician Édouard Lalo, a "Carmen Suite" from the opera Carmenby Georges Bizet, the "Bekroningscène" by the opera Boris Godunov Modest Mussorgsky and the overture to the opera L'impresario in angustie from Domenico Cimarosa. He also worked with Britsh conductor Gilbert Vinter.

In 2007 he composed and conducted the music for the State Opening and Closing of the Scottish Parliament in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen.
