Challenging Brass 2008 was a great event and really showcased the creative musical talent of our local Brass Bands.
A wide variety of excellent music was played by the four bands competing, and I was delighted to be invited along to record the concert for Brooklands Radio.
I hope to produce an hour long programme of the concert for broadcast in around 2 weeks time.
In the meantime 2 numbers from the concert can be heard on the local events page of our website.
