Sunday Bandstand 18 December 2022

Hello and welcome to our third week of brass band Christmas music. As always we have many old favourites and some new ones as well. We also have a story telling listeners what Christmas was like in those Second World War post-war years and through the 1950s and very early 1960s. Some of you will recall those days of rationing and homemade toys...
