Fleetwood
  The Fleetwood Contest can be enjoyed on-line with a fantastic live stream

Next Step Films (NXTOD) has announced that it will be live-streaming the revived Fleetwood Contest which takes place on Sunday 26th April from the town's Marine Hall.

Run in partnership with Red Admiral in partnership with Leyland Band, it has attracted a fine field of bands from across the North West, Yorkshire, Midlands, Scotland and the Isle of Man.

So if you cannot make it in person to enjoy a huge variety of own-choice test pieces from Youth to Championship Section, then why not sit back and enjoy it all in the comfort of your own home as you look forward to a relaxing Sunday of brass band entertainment.
