It seems that everyone is looking forward rather than back as the Regionals 2009 CD is the top seller on 4BR in the last month.

New entries

There are new entries however for Cory's latest opus, 'Actaeon', as well as Russell Gray's take on the rock 'ard 'Arban' solos. Black Dyke continue sell quicker than shares in Barclays bank with their latest 'Overtures' release, whilst Paul Lovatt Cooper continues on his single handed assault on world banding domination.
