There is no Austrian anomaly anymore. Just exceptional playing from an exceptional brass band.
CD: Die Alpen
August 21, 2010
Have Black Dyke managed to deliver a high peak of musical achievement for Obrasso, or is it a question of yet more Swiss inspired cheese?
CD: Grimethorpe in Concert: Volume IV
August 21, 2010
Any more stuff like this and the World Wildlife Fund may well be putting pressure on Grimethorpe to be set free from their enforced musical captivity...
