  There is just one spot left to be filled at the 2018 Bolsover Festival of Brass

The Bolsover International Festival of Brass has announced that such has been the interest from bands that there is just one place left to be filled in either the Championship or First Section of the event which takes place on the 30th September.

Remarkable response

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We have had a remarkable response from bands wishing to take part and it says a great deal about the way in which it is run and what it offers bands that we have just one slot to fill and a waiting list of bands in the Second, Third and Fourth Sections."
