Another little brain teaser for you to work out to get your hands on a trio of great CDs — so get your thinking caps on.
The prize is a trio of CDs from Brett Baker, Grimethorpe Coliery Band and the Symphonic Brass of London.
In homage to the Welsh football team creating a little bit of history at EURO 2016 (above with the 4BR Editor in Liile), and with it being a bit of a red letter day for the UK in terms of our relationship with our European friends — our question has got a bit of a Celtic/Euro twist.
Question:
Which of these test-pieces with a Welsh flavour has NEVER been used as an OWN-CHOICE selection by a band at the European Brass Band Championships?
Remember — the piece has never been used as an own-choice selection...
a) The Year of the Dragon
b) Five Blooms in a Welsh Garden
c) Owain Glyndwr

Winner
Our winner of the trio of CDs was Mary Stangroom from Whitham in Essex, who plays repiano with Colchester Band.
The right answer to our question of what was the link between the name of Linda Snell's resurrection garden in the radio programme 'The Archers', one of the world's first submarines sunk off the coast of north Wales in 1880 and an iconic test piece by Eric Ball — was of course 'Resurgam'.
Mary returned to playing after having what she termed 'an epiphany' when shopping at Sainsbury's a couple of years ago. She was listening to the band playing carols, and decided that as she was a lapsed trumpet player that she would start playing again after 30 years!
She now enjoys every minute of it — although her local Sainsbury's store have yet to cash in on its potential as a place of brass band pilgrimage...
