2024 British Open Championship
Memories of 2023

Photographer Craig Chapman will once again be on hand at Symphony Hall to capture the action as it unfolds — just as he did with these memorable shots from 2023.

Photographer Craig Chapman will be at the 170th British Open Championship at Symphony Hall to once again capture the action as well as provide a flavour of the atmosphere behind event as it unfolds.

These were some of the many fantastic shots he took at the 2023 contest, as Foden's and Russell Gray beat the 'Sand and Stars' heat of the day as well as the hot pursuit of their rivals to take the title.

Support us for less than a cup of coffee...

4BR wants to ensure that the brass band movement remains vibrant and relevant. We also want to be able to question, challenge and critically examine those who run and play in it, producing high quality journalism that informs as well as entertains our readers.

So if like us you value a strong, independent perspective on the brass band world - then why not consider becoming a supporter and help make our future and that of a burgeoning brass band movement more secure.

So one less cappuccino then?
