Delighted

Speaking about the coverage, BBE Chief Executive Officer Kenny Crookston told 4BR: "We're delighted with the overall response to the 'makeover' we've given the Youth Champs, but we also recognise the importance of letting as many brass band lovers as possible worldwide get a taste of what we hope will be a very enjoyable and musically rewarding event."
