Christmas Crackers

Looking for some festive music for the season of goodwill? Then 4BR may have just the right CD for you...

Chestnuts warming on an open fire, turkey in the oven, the lads down the boozer trying to get in an extra pint before coming home late for Christmas dinner…

Extra pint

What music can possibly sooth the troubled brow, add festive cheer to the anxieties of Christmas Day and bring some seasonal goodwill to all men – especially those who have had an extra pint or two?

Great Christmas music that’s what!

Cracking CDs

And none come better than the some cracking CDs from 4BR.

There is a great selection to choose from too – from the Americana of Brass Band of Central Florida to the Salvation Army, Black Dyke, YBS and even Australia and beyond.

So why not buy one of the following, sit back and leave everyone else worry about Christmas…

European flavour

Why not go all European with the Musikgesellschaft Risch-Rotkreuz Band with favourite tunes associated with Christmas time:

America

Or why not try something from over the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and the brass playing of the New England Brass Band conducted by Doug Yeo?

Or what about more Americana from the Brass Band of Columbus Ohio – you can bet they get plenty of snow out there each year…

Australia

From the other side of the world we have the Christmas Belles from Australia and plenty of song to go with the brass on:

You can’t beat a bit of Black Dyke at Christmas either, so why not let the lads and lasses from Queensbury entertain you with their festive offering:

Salvation Army

Finally, it can’t a compete Christmas without the sound of the Salvation Army ringing in your ears, so why not try the World of Brass Ensemble in festive mood:
