Wednesday, 16 February 2011

        

In this week’s British Bandsman, we pay tribute to the great trumpeter and conductor, James Watson, who died suddenly last weekend.

Roy Terry reports from the French National Championships and we look forward to this weekend's inaugural University Brass Band Championships of Great Britain.

In addition, Paul Hindmarsh examines Eric Ball's Resurgam, the test-piece for the 2nd Section of the forthcoming Regional Championships.
