  The principal players will be on show in Manchester and Birmingham

The principal players (above) of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain will be on show later today in Manchester, as the band performs in a sold-out concert at Stoller Hall.

Alongside their talented colleagues the players have enjoyed working under the baton of Dr Stephen Cobb, as well as being inspired by guest soloist Philip Cobb and a host of renowned brass band tutors.

Fantastic course

Speaking to 4BR NYBBGB CEO, Mark Bromley said: "It's been a fantastic course and it's little surprise that all the tickets were sold so quickly for the concert.

We know some people will be disappointed not to be able to hear the players today, but we are providing a second chance alongside The Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines Collingwood at Ruddock Hall in Birmingham on Saturday 15th April — so why not come along there as well."
