The World of Brass: 8th July

Following the great response to the first ever brass band radio programme broadcast in South Africa there is now more great music being featured by presenter Nick Plummer.

The former Sellers Engineering Band tuba player broadcasts on Cape Town's classical music radio station, Fine Music Radio ( www.fmr.co.za) and has been connecting with a fledgling brass band community over the last 10 years with his occasional brass band spotlights.

The 1 hour long programme is dedicated to all things brass banding at 6.30pm (BST).
