Listen now
Description
Rhapsody in Brass by Dean Goffin was written for the British Open Brass Band Championships 70 years ago and it’s the first piece in Frank’s new feature celebrating significant band pieces which have really impressed and moved him over the years. Equally underplayed these days but heard here is A Country scene by Goff Richards and the Dawn of Freedom March which was recorded back in the 1970’s by the successful and fondly remembered Mirrlees Band. In the next Episode Frank talks Siddis which is almost on us again and will be available to stream live on brasspass.tv.
