Sunday Bandstand 4 December 2022

Hello and welcome to our first show of December. Regular listeners to our show will be aware we begin playing our Christmas music in the the first show in December. We then gradually build it up week by week until our Christmas Day show when it will be almost wall-to-wall Christmas music throughout. We will be featuring brass bands and soloists from around the banding world.

There will be some old favourites and some new music which we hope will in time become new favourites. If you have a special piece of Christmas music or carol you would like us to play please contact us through the email which is announced regularly on the show...Enjoy
