Regional Brass Band Championships, Sunday 16th March 2008

We were awarded third place out of fourteen in this competition - and on cumulative results (previous two years taken into account) we were also now graded ("seeded") in second place out of the 14 bands in the Section, which meant we gained promotion to First Section.

You can hear a recording of our actual on-stage contest performance ('Three Part Invention" by Kenneth Downie), at which we came third out of  fourteen by clicking the link below.

This audio track is a digital translation of the original recording made during the contest by:

Doyen Recordings Ltd. 

Our own performance apart, Doyen's recording is technically of high audio quality and is well worth playing on the best audio equipment available to you.  We are grateful to Doyen for permission to use their recording on this website.

You can see some pictures of the day on the Gallery Page via the "2008" navigation button.

Bruges Tour, April 2007

These recordings were made on hand-held digital still cameras using their 'movie' mode, and have the limitations inherent in that medium.  Some of the recordings are of part only of a particular item.

Many thanks to band-members Lisa Stonham, Roger Morgan and Phill Judge for providing these recordings, and to Garry Morris for the use of his equipment and his expertise in post-processing the recordings.
