There are a whole batch of new CD releases flooding onto the market in time for Christmas – and all can be bought through 4BR.

4BR
 

There is certainly no sign of a credit crunch going on at present in the brass CD market place with a whole raft of new CDs being launched by bands and artists in time for the Christmas rush.

Hard at work

4BR will be hard at work over the next week or so listening to each and every one of them so that we can post our reviews, so why not take the opportunity to treat yourself to an early Christmas prezzie (or for a loved one of course!) with some of these latest blockbuster releases.

3. Brass and Wines
The incomparable Spanish Brass team up with the incomparable Steve Mead for a touch of something a little different. Even the cover looks like a Damien Hirst painting…

6. Crème de la Crème – Mnozil Brass
If you enjoy listening then you will certainly enjoy looking at the mad, bad and dangerous to know lads from Mnozil. Thing is – they can play brilliantly too.

7. 2008 European Championships – DVD
Something more traditional to sit back and enjoy as the highlights of a memorable week of brass band playing are caught in all their glory. Something to put on after the Queen’s Speech…
