Recall Bolsover contest performances

You can now enjoy a host of performances from the recent Bolsover Festival of Brass thanks to a great YouTube link at the First Art website.

Bolsover Festival of Brass
 

Bolsover District Council and their partners First Art have had a wonderful response to the posting of performances on the internet from the Championship, First and Training Sections of the recent Bolsover Festival of Brass Championship.

Enjoy again

Although the event was broadcast live on the day to 33 countries around the world, the organisers also ensured that the performances would be recorded for posterity — and can now be enjoyed once more by logging onto the First Art website and clicking on the YouTube icon on the top of the page.

Easy to find

It's easy to find and once you get there the performances from all the bands plus interviews between them are featured.

So why not recall some of the highlights of what was a great event
