  The concert was led by Prod King and featured soloist James Fountain

The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain is asking people who attended their Summer Course Concert in Blackburn to consider filling in a questionnaire to help them meet requirements for funding from Arts Council England.

Feedback

Those who went to the concert at Blackburn Cathedral on Saturday 10th August led by guest conductor Prof David King (10th August) can complete the short feedback questionnaire to enable the NYBBGB to find out more about the key demographics of their audiences.

Very special

CEO, Mark Bromley said on the band's Facebook page: "I think everyone would agree that it was a very special concert by an inspired band led by Prof King and featuring the incredible James Fountain.

The feedback we received on the day was amazing and so we hope people will take 5 minutes of their time to fill in questionnaire. It is essential that we communicate with Arts Council England and provide them with the feedback from our audiences."
