Radio: All Brass Radio

More global brass band music from Dr Jim Fox in the USA

All rass
  Plenty more great music from across the pond with Dr Jim Fox

All Brass Radio:

All Brass Radio continues to expand its listening reach across the musical globe, with yet more listeners joining up to hear brilliant music making from bands of all different nationalities and levels of experience and expertise.

It all about variety too — with serious tracks missed in with fun ones to provide a perfect mix and reflect the tastes of our listeners.

Where else can you hear 'Benedictus', 'Irish Blessing' or 'Barber of Seville' followed by 'Fire in the Blood', 'Seize the Day' and 'Dundonnell' solo tracks by stars such as Kirsty Abbots and even a test piece or two.

This month tracks from four new or donated CDs were added:
'Bolero' by Brighouse & Rastrick
'The Art of Brass' by the Cory Band
'Horizons' by the East of England Co-op Band
'The Sun Has Got It's Hat On' by the Clacton-on-the-Sea Co-op Band

Do not forget to visit the new Apparel Store and keep tuning into the front page for announcement about an up and coming contest.
