The Doc's diagnosis

Dr Robert Childs tells 4BR just what he and Ray Farr were looking for from Section 2 & 3 bands in Harrogate.

Childs
 

4BR has spoken exclusively to Dr Robert Childs to find out just what he and Ray Farr were looking out for from the competing bands in Sections 2 & 3 at Harrogate on the weekend.

Bob takes time to reveal what made the difference between the winners and rest on 'A Scot's Miscellany' and 'Oceans', and why he may have to wrap up his own players in cotton wool before the Nationals in a few weeks time.
