4BR New Year's Eve Quiz

One final little brain teaser to sort out before the bells chime in the New Year of banding...

4BR logo
 

Just the one little brain tickler for you to sort out before the celebrations begin — and so do the hang overs...

Question:

The identity of which brass band can be found by a tenuous link between a recently discovered 17th century baroque painting bought by a clergyman for £400 but now worth over £400,000, a hymn tune to safeguard those in danger on the high seas and a dancing chimney sweep with a dodgy cockney accent?

Prize:

Get the identity of the band right — and explain why, and we will send you out the CD of your choice plus a special 4BR diary to keep all those important brass bands contest and concert dates in!
