Enjoy the Australian National Championships this weekend... 12 years of them in fact...

Thanks to Tim Kelly aka 'Handsome Tim' of brassbanned, you can indulge in your passion for all things brass bands this weekend with the ultimate box-set of highlights of the Australian National Championships — from 2008 to 2019.

48 hour box set

It's a non-stop 48 hours of performances over Saturday and Sunday featuring the A Grade Brass and Concert band performances, Street Marches, as well as some other contest performances.

Loyal viewers

Tim will also be asking his great band of 'loyal viewers' to take 'selfie' videos and let him know their favourite memories of any of those great events from 2008 to 2019, which he will play out on air.

Please remember that all the times shown here are Melbourne Australia, so if you are in the UK the time shown are PLUS 9 HOURS IN FRONT (9.00am BST = 18.00pm in Melbourne)

The schedule is still a work in progress as we continue our trawling of the archives. We will be live at midnight tonight (Melbourne time) and this is our plan:
