Brass Band Podcast: Episode 25

The Scottish duo look back at 2016 and hand out their own particular awards.

Podcast
  More views from north of the border about the state of the banding world.

Tuesday, 03 January 2017

        

Dave Kinross and Kenny Crookston look at the year that was 2016. The Brass Band Podcast inaugural awards celebrate the best player, organisation and contribution to banding along with the best performance not to win and the less formal 'You're having a laugh' category.

They pay respects to the famous names in the movement who left us this year and describe their hopes for brass bands in 2017.
