Sunday Bandstand 7 July 2024
The death has been announced of David Read MBE. Long regarded as the foremost brass band contest adjudicator, he also enjoyed a remarkable musical life as a renowned player, conductor and educator. He passed away peacefully on Thursday 27 June, aged 90.
I wrote a potted life story of him just over 20 years ago. I will be publishing it again as it was written all those years ago with David's help on my website. Choosing a title for my story was one of the easiest I had to create in those days simply calling it '...David Read, the quintessential British Bandsman…’ which I felt was the most appropriate and best way of describing him.
We are featuring a track on this show in commemoration of him from a recording of him conducting the Cambridge Co-operative Band in 1983.
