Sunday Bandstand 27 December 2020
Hello Brass Banders - This is the last show for 2020 and has a wide and diverse choice of Christmas music for you to enjoy. This month is the anniversary of the show being on weekly for the last 13 years and I look forward to the next 13 or however many more years the show will be heard around the world.
Thank you for listening over the last 12 months and for all the messages, emails and requests that have been sent.
I wish you all a Happy New Year and let us hope that 2021 will at some stage take us back to what we used to call normality.
