Cory win Brass in Concert
  You can now enjoy Cory's winning performance — and lall the other bands too thanks to the WoS downloads

For the first time ever World of Brass are offering audio downloads of all performances from this year's Brass in Concert Championships including the winning Roald Dahl inspired set from 'Grand Slam' champions Cory.

Right mix

The World of Sound recording team worked tirelessly throughout the day to get the mixes just right so that the downloads could be made as soon as possible after the contest.

No brainer

Melissa Dee of World of Sound told 4BR: "With the popularity of downloads of test-piece performances from the European and National Championships it was a no brainer to also offer this for the Brass in Concert Championship.

As it's the 40th anniversary year we thought this was the perfect time to offer these as part of the celebrations."

Purchase

The performances are available for £2.99 per band or you can buy all 11 of the performances for just £24.95.
