There has been another great swath of music making from all over the banding world to keep us all entertained of late — with these great efforts being brought to the 4BR's attention...
Global entertainers
The Jack Brass Band in the USA which specialises in the 'feel good' jazz traditions of New Orleans brass bands, has brought us a brilliant version of 'Go Down to New Orleans'...

Meanwhile, there is a very different rendition of the Floral Dance from the Lund University Brass Band in Sweden... even the windscreen wipers of the conductor's car are in time...

Not to be outdone, the in-house 'Foden's Trio' of John Barber, Andy Cattanach and Anthony Mann link up with Matt Ford for a wonderful rendition of 'My Funny Valentine'.
As the bloke on the Fast Show used to say....Coooolll...

The Durham Miners Association Brass Band gets inspired by the great Neil Diamond with a super version of 'Sweet Caroline'...

And Milnrow Band's third social distancing video shows that they are desperate to get out and back to rehearsals with a fun version of 'The Great Escape'...

Solo brilliance
There have also been some pretty impressive individual work going on too.
Professional trumpet player Francesco Gibellini brings us something a little different with his touch of Monterverdi...including an ophicleide, beat box, electric guitar and tenor horn...

There is something more reflective from Whitburn's top man Chris Bradley with a beautiful rendition of 'The Swan'... although you can't see his feet paddling like mad out of camera shot...

And if you are stuck by yourself with plenty of time on your hands then you can try something like this... 'Cushy Butterfield' multi-tracked by Tim Pannell from tip top to pit bottom...

A little different
As for something a little different, if you have the occasional taste for something hands, knees and oops a daisy... here is a little something from Arjan Gaasbeek, Paul van Gils & Robbert Vos...
