Re: Blackburn with Darwen Brass Band

Brass Band concerts can be extremely enjoyable .. the players are very accomplished.

Brings memories back of my dad though... he played in dance bands and orchestras (semi-professional), but when a brass band was hired for the local annual church walk ... tears streamed down his face to their music. (Aaaw).

Last August went to a wedding where the groom was a member of a Wigan brass band. He had his colleagues playing there. Sounded lovely in the Church. Only criticism was ... they played pieces I did not know and found it rather boring .... the Floral Dance (as mentioned) would have been more light relief...
