The BFBB organising committee recently came away from a recent meeting at the venue pleased with the level of help and expertise being offered for what promises to be an exciting day of top class contest entertainment.

The format will see the eight competing bands take to the stage at 10.00am to perform the set work, ‘Masquerade’ by Philip Wilby, with the own choice selections starting 1 hour after the last band has played.
