Swiss inspired by Cory lead

Brass Band Berner Oberland and Brass Band Sursilvana are inspired to follow Cory Band with some great uplifting music to be enjoyed by brass band lovers around the globe.

Swiss
  The Swiss have got in on the social media performance act...

The welcome knock-on effect of Cory Band's inventive use of social media to bring a new form of brass band entertainment to audiences around the world has certainly proved to be a great success.

It's also inspired others to do the same, with the latest, two cracking efforts from Swiss bands.

Forever For You

Former Swiss National champion, Brass Band Berner Oberland has come up with an arrangement of the song, 'Fur immer uf di' (Forever For You) originally performed by the Swiss folk band, Patent Ochsner.

Arranged by MD, Corsin Tuor they told 4BR that the project had been undertaken "to cheer up the people of Switzerland"and to inspire them "to stand together in these hard times". It was recently played on Swiss radio.
