For those of you that don’t know, 3 or 4 years ago the band was recorded at Kirkham Grammar School by a touring band from America and that recording, along with a Christmas CD we gave them gets played across America from time to time.
For any of you that may be interested, the links below are to the next set of recordings due to be played. Note that you will have to work out the time differences if you wish to listen and some will be in the early hours of the morning.
Episode 314: A Brass Band Christmas
At this time of year if you haven’t been reminded of the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas you are indeed somewhat isolated from popular culture. It has been part of the marketing program of countless companies and causes, “visions of sugarplums” are probably dancing in your head by now, too. I suppose my personal trainer is hoping that the “little round belly – bowl full of jelly” rhyme sticks in my mind, too.
