Whit Friday Special on Sounds Of Brass

Today on Sounds Of Brass.

I feature A Whit Friday Special!

Playing my Favourite Marches that you should hear on the day, to wet your appetite before the big day on Friday 24th May 2024

Eleven band contests take place on the evening of Whit Friday and, although very close geographically, they are completely independent of each other. Each contest has its own rules, organisation and prizes, however bands who compete in at least six of the contests are then eligible to win one of the coveted Saddleworth and Oldham Whit Friday Band Contest Area Prizes.
