Today I Feature Pennine Brass, the band ceased to perform with effect from Tuesday 21st October 2008.A democracy to the end, the band only founded in 1999, yet with five Championship Section Yorkshire Area appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008), 1st Section National title (2007), Harry & Margaret Mortimer Memorial Championship title (2006), French Open title (2001), four Grand Shield performances (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) and a Senior Trophy victory (2003) to its name have called time on a short but illustrious history.In a time with many bands struggling for dedicated players, all those involved with the band would prefer Pennine Brass to be remembered for its achievements, and as a band that knew when it was time to call it a day.www.sounds-of-brass.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

The Stanshawe BandThe Stanshawe Band was formed in 1968 by a small group of amateur brass musicians from the city of Bristol and surrounding area. For most of its life the band was called the Sun Life Band, after receiving sponsorship from the well-known assurance company, Axa-Sun Life. Its ultimate goal was to become the very brass band in the world.The band reached national award winning standards within only a few years and in 1990 it won The British Open Brass Band Championships, suggesting that it had become the best band in the world. In January 1997 the band found themselves in an unattainable position, where maintaining the very highest of standards was taking too high a toll, so, the band was disbanded.www.sounds-of-brass.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
