Open performances to be recorded

British Open teams up with North West Photography to produce HD recordings of each performance on weekend.

Symphony Hall
 

The British Open Championship organisers have confirmed that North West Photography will be present at the 160th contest at Birmingham's Symphony Hall on Saturday to record the day’s action using the very latest broadcast quality HD cameras and sound equipment.

Online

Immediately following the contest that action will be edited with the footage of each band's performance placed online to view and purchase.

There will be full coverage of each performance as well as interviews with players and conductors to enjoy.

North West Photography told 4BR: "All profits are going directly back to the British Open to help continue staging the event in future years."
