During February, the AllBrass Radio playlist has once again been transformed.
New CDs such as 'Recital' horn player Chris Davies with Tredegar Band, 'Bliss & Howells' featuring Brighouse & Rastrick, and The International Staff Band's 'My Journey' featuring Derick Kane have come our way, as has 'A Search for Peace' by Carlton Main Frickley featuring one of the station's most popular artists, Kirsty Abbotts.
The addition of these wonderful CDs has made an impact on this month's Top 20, with Kirsty again in the podium positions — but this time with a new piece.
First spot
First spot though goes to Derrick Kane, the wonderful euphonium player at the International Staff Band for the past 40 years. His has just retired from his position and you can hear his talents on, 'The Flower Duet' alongside his son, Stephen.
Kirsty Abbot once again proves so popular with our listeners, this time with 'Down by the Sally Gardens', whilst Kirkintilloch Band comes in third with the hauntingly beautiful main theme from the 1998 movie 'Saving Private Ryan.'.
Listen out for
Other tracks to listen out for are Chris Davies with his brilliant rendition of 'Jenny Jones', 'Tossing the Feathers' from the recent CD from the Flowers Band and a new track from Carlton Main Frickley and Kirsty Abbots with 'Mid All Traffic'.
