Unibrass
 

The UniBrass 2014 committee has announced that tickets for this year’s contest, which will be held at Warwick Arts Centre on February 15th, are now on sale.

More and more

A spokesperson told 4BR: "The Warwick venue is the UK's largest arts centre outside of London, so we expect UniBrass 2014 to be even bigger and better than before, with more bands, more music and more entertainment."

Student bands from across the country will be competing for the title of the UK's best university band, with adjudicator Mike Fowles and composer Tom Davoren given the task of separating the best student ensembles in the country.

Winner

The spokesperson added: "The day's set to be a winner for everyone — from the aspiring to the well seasoned brass bander and to those who just want to experience a completely different and brilliant type of music from the UK's best and brightest brass playing students!"
