Sunday Bandstand weekly brass band programme 17 September 2017

Hello Brass Banders - Another great show for you this week. Two hours of music from a number of bands from around the world and some soloists straight out of the top draw as well.

I now have a new website www.chrishelme-brighouse.org.uk have a lot through it all, I am sure you will appreciate the Sunday Bandstand section. It has an archive of shows with full playlists dating back to the summer of 2014. There are reviews of some of the latest CDs and some brass band memories - click where it says MORE at the bottom of each entry and you will have the full story and the odd You Tube link.

......................

Lawrence Wright (15.02. 1888 – 19.05.1964) was a British popular music composer and publisher. He was born in Leicester and opened a music shop in the city in 1906. A short time later his first song, "Down By The Stream", was published, and by 1912 he had established the Lawrence Wright Music Co in Denmark Street, London.
He went on to write (or co-write) over 600 songs under his own name and as Horatio Nicholls, including the World War I propaganda song "Are We Downhearted? No!", and would receive an Ivor Novello Award in 1962 for Outstanding Contribution to British Popular Music. He also wrote songs under the pseudonyms of Gene Williams and Betsy O'Hogan,

He was one of the very rare composers of popular music in this period to make a substantial amount of money - it had not been unusual to see composers who had written dozens of hits die in poverty

Our opening march was written by Horatio Nicholls
