The Scottish Brass Band Association’s Event Manager Peter Fraser MBE is recovering well in hospital following an operation.

Rest and recuperation

Development Officer Alan Edmond told 4BR that despite being told to enjoy a bit of rest and recuperation, Peter couldn’t wait to get back to work.

"We know lots of people have tried to get in touch with Peter over the last week or so, but we can assure everyone that he will be back and in charge of things as soon as he gets some well earned rest."
