Fortunate

Series compere, Simon Lindley told 4BR: "We're so fortunate in Leeds to have a series of concerts dedicated to world class brass bands where we can hear the amazing colour, vitality and thrilling sounds they offer.

The bands perform a wide range of music from traditional marches to big band favourites. There is always such lovely atmosphere at these concerts and the audience always make myself and the performers feel so welcome."
