Sunday Bandstand 11 February 2024

Welcome to my weekly two-hour brass band radio show Sunday Bandstand. The show was started in December 2007 and has played on a number of radio community radio stations in the UK and overseas ever since. The number of stations has been as high as 15 and then sadly as radio stations close down or are taken over and brass band music is not on the new owners schedule, the number of stations has fluctuated. The show is also sent out on a Mixcloud link to 180 enthusiasts around the world. It is on my website https://www.chrishelme-brighouse.org.uk/index.php/sunday-bandstand -on the link you will find shows dating back to 2014 and there is a search facility at the bottom of the archive page. The show is also on www.4barsrest.com and to be a link on the British Bandsman publication.

If you have a request or question about the world of brass bands you can always email, me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Enjoy the show
