  February has seen a number of new additions to the platform

There have been plenty of new musical additions to the Wobplay multimedia platform to enjoy during February, with more yet to come as we head into the start of the busy contesting season.

RNCM Festival and SC50

The performances from the 2026 International Festival of Brass are now being added — with those of Foden's, Concord, Tredegar and Black Dyke already there to enjoy with more to come, whilst you can also sit back and enjoy the memorable 'Stephen Cobb 50' recorded at Regent Hall.

There is also a specially recorded episode of Fully Scored which sees Matthew Frost also host a programme of music and interviews with people who have enjoyed working with Stephen.

Youngblood

For something different you can also enjoy the spectacular Youngblood Brass Band in action at the Gala Concert of the 2025 Siddis Championships in Stavanger, whilst the international flavour of the music is also enhanced by the new release from Five Lakes Silver Band entitled 'Legacy'.
