4BR was at the 2019 National Youth Brass Band Championships at Warwick School, where we caught up with conductor Martin Tromans and players, Malachy, Joseph and Olivia to find out a bit more about the band.

The band organisation hails from just outside Harrogate and has been rejuvenated in recent years since they took the decision to make a long term investment in youth.

Its all now paying off with talented youngsters coming through the ranks and rehearsing once a week during school terms times, and with a senior band already enjoying further success.

The secret to success it seems is to have a tuck shop on hand as they went on to cliam a Merit Award with a programme that included 'Slaidburn', 'Siciliano', 'Hit It!', 'Dear Lord and Father of Mankind' and 'O Happy Day!'.
