Black Dyke/Listen To The Band

[Brian Bowen]

Black Dyke's 15 April broadcast could have been a subliminal advert for Obrasso Verlag AG, as everything performed was from their band catalogue (that wasn't mentioned on air). Have Dyke just done another CD for Obrasso and for economy or time's sake repeated some of it for the BBC? From what I could tell today the playing was OK but my Internet connection deteriorated to right channel only half-way through. Because of that and the programme I was left somewhat disappointed but I guess it was Radio 2 fare.
