The recent Brass and Percussion Summer School that took place at Belmont School Community Arts College, Durham City is due to be broadcast on the radio.

Memento

The summer school, which was held at the beginning of September was co-ordinated by Laura Jackson, who told 4BR: "We were very privileged to be contacted by Michael Fryer from Radio Teesdale, who came to record the concert. It is a great memento for the students to be able to hear themselves broadcast on the radio."
