I grew up in an area surrounded by Coal Mines and Steel works - sadly most of which have now have closed. Some of them had their own brass band and gave tuition to would-be music lovers to learn how to play an instrument and therefore nurture a love of music that will always give themselves and others a great deal of pleasure.

This is a type of music which I love and recently watching a local competition one particular band played the melody 'He Aint Heavy, He's my Brother' it was beautiful - a most moving experience which gave a new dimension to this lovely song.

I have been tinkering about with the Sound registrations - there is a Brass Band on the KN7 - then I had a thought, perhaps one or more of you has already got a style/arrangement of Brass Band type which they would like to share - if so I would be very pleased to hear from them.
