4BR Podcast
 

4BR's podcast from the 158th British Open Championships in Birmingham is now up on the site.

Just a couple of hours after the result was announced, 4BR Editor Iwan Fox was joined by British Bandsman Editor Kenneth Crookston, euphonium star Steven Mead and Redbridge MD Jeremy Wise, to digest the outcome of Tredegar's win and all its implications, as well as some of the other issues that arose from a great day at Symphony Hall.

All that and you get to hear the authentic sound of the hotel bar at Jury's Hotel starting to get into full swing too...

Retrospectives:

The retrospective of the contest, postcard, adjudications and all the images from Ian Clowes of Goldy Solutions will be up on the site in the next 24 hours.
