Once again there is a great prize sponsored by our friends at Ev-entz — as long as you can get your thinking caps on.

Phat drum tuition book, sticks, DVD and CDs

This week we have a great prize package – starting with something for those percussionists who really want to know how to play like the drummers from the famous Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band – Wayne Bergeron, Bernie Dresel, Eric Marienthal and Andy Martin.

We have a copy of Gordon Goodwin’s ‘Big Phat Band – Play-Along Series’ that comes with an accompanying CD – so you can get all the tips and hear how they should sound all in one go!

In addition we have another copy of David Childs ‘A Masterclass in Brass’ DVD, Foden’s new CD ‘Patron’s Choice VI’, which includes their live performances from the British Open and National Finals, Black Dyke’s new CD ‘Gold’ and Cory’s new release, ‘Cory Band in Concert’.

Who will win?

With Bradford’s brave football team coming a cropper at Wembley last weekend, we thought we would see who could guess correctly which band will pick up the big silver trophy that matters at St George’s Hall this weekend.

Take you pick from the 13 Championship Section contenders and tell us who you think will be celebrating come Sunday night.

A: Black Dyke
B: Brighouse & Rastrick
C: Carlton Main Frickley Colliery
D: Grimethorpe Colliery
E: Hammonds Saltaire
F: Hepworth
G: Marsden Silver

Clues:

None! Just take your pick of who you think may win!

Closing date:

All answers for this one must be in by 5.30pm on Sunday 3rd March – before a note on ‘Harmony Music’ has been blown in anger!.

Last Winner:

We had a great response to last week’s quiz, with Cath Davies knowing her rugby greats by identifying the legendary Barry John as the one and only ‘King’.

She will be receiving the Casio CTK-230 electronic keyboard, plus the brand new David Childs ‘A Masterclass in Brass’ DVD and Foden’s new CD ‘Patron’s Choice VI’, which includes their live performances from the British Open and National Finals.
