4BR Editor Iwan Fox caught up with a delighted conductor Patrick Ottiger of the newly crowned Swiss First Division Champion, BML Talents.

Packed full of young players — the vast majority teenagers — they are the 'junior band' of the Brass Band Burgermusik Luzern organisation and have gained a remarkable reputation for living up to their name — and not just on the contest stage.

Patrick has been the MD for a decade — with many of the players he has nurtured over the years moving directly into the senior BB Burgermusik Luzern line-up.
