Advert: British Bandsman

Plenty of action and more from the start of the 2011 Areas in this week's Bandsman...

In British Bandsman this week, we have all the action in words and pictures from Blackpool and Perth, where the Regional Championships got underway last weekend with victories for Foden's and Whitburn.

Addition

In addition we have all the latest news and views from around the banding world in our packed 16-page edition.

Next week, look out for our report from St. George’s Hall in Bradford, where Yorkshire’s finest will fight it out for the right to compete at the Royal Albert Hall in October.
