Sit back and enjoy

You can enjoy all the competitive action at this year's European Championships — and you have to do is sit back and relax...

Live Stream
  The Liver stream will be brought to you by World of Brass on the Wobplay platform

Thursday, 28 April 2022

        

If you can't make it to Birmingham this weekend then you can always sit back and enjoy the contesting action from the comfort of your own home.

World of Brass is bringing the European Brass Band Championships live from Symphony Hall — all the events over the two days, Saturday 30th April and Sunday 1st May on the www.wobplay.com platform.

The Gala Concert will also be bought to you by the Louis Dowdeswell Big Band performing with Cory Band.

The streaming will include interviews with players and conductors throughout, so join people around the world to watch the performances live as the action happens, or afterwards on-demand.

You simply need to subscribe to www.wobplay.com to experience it all.

Enjoy now at www.wobplay.com
