Sunday Bandstand 5 December 2021

We are now into our Christmas count down. Hopefully all brass bands will have a full diary right up to Christmas Eve. Each show up to the first week in the New Year will be playing festive music. Music that will have been old favourites for many years, hopefully the new music I will introduce you to will in time become new favourties.

There will be bands and soloists from around the brass banding world. If you have a favourite and would like to hear a carol or favourite piece of festive music just send me your request to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. We will be pleased to play it for you and share it with our world wide audience.....Enjoy
