4BR British Open Quiz: The Winner

Those who went with Wales were the ones in with the chance of winning the cracking Mnozil Brass British Open prize package from our friends at Arcomis.

Mnozil Brass
 

Once again we had a great response to our British Open Quiz, with each of the competing bands getting plenty of pre-results support.

Winner

However, it was Tredegar who came out on top, and that was the choice of Geoff Wood, principal cornet of the Ratby Band amongst others — many of whom put their vote in after the Welsh band played at Symphony Hall, who was picked out of the hat.
