Advert: Brass in Concert

Final preparations underway as Brass in Concert goes LIVE!

Sage
 

Following the success of British Bandsman’s live coverage of the European Brass Band Championships earlier this year, subscribers have been busy signing up for 'Brass in Concert Goes Live', which will be produced in association with Yamaha Neo and presented by percussion star, Simone Rebello this Sunday.

No stone unturned

BB’s Editor, Kenneth Crookston, commented: "Knowing the technical challenge that live events such as this face, we have yet again left no stone unturned. We are delighted with the take-up so far, but would urge potential viewers to sign up before Sunday morning, just to be sure that they don’t encounter any last-minute hitches with the payment system that could result in them missing out on some of the action."
