4BR has been informed that bands from the Yorkshire Regional Championship area are to be asked to attend a special meeting to discuss on the ongoing issues arising from Kapitol’s decision to set up the Brass Band Players Registry.

Own hands

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We are taking matters into our own hands with regards to the current proposals for registration changes from Kapitol Promotions.

Unhappy with the action that has been taken by Kapitol, without discussion and the consequential input of bands across the country, a meeting to discuss matters concerning the bands directly has therefore been set for Tuesday 20th November."
