Stannington Brass Band is supporting the work of NHS workers during the Coronavirus pandemic thanks to its performance of a test-piece that itself was inspired by the creation of the National Health Service in 1948.
Their First Section Yorkshire Regional Championship rendition of 'Legacy' by composer Tom Davoren, which itself celebrates the determination of Welsh politician Aneurin Bevan to create the universal health care system, is now available on YouTube.
