I have nothing specific to add on Thatcher other than I saw poll last night (from 2010) asking who the best and worst post war prime minster has been and something like 80% of of the vote was for...

So Zone One players don't get £500 each for the area? How disappointing to learn that they're not a bunch of mercenarys, hell-bent on bleeding the movement dry with their wicked non-heartfelt, Eric...

What and who on earth are you talking about?

It's the assumption from some that judges are bothered about knowing which band is on stage that annoys me. I have only had one or two experiences judging 'blind' and I could honestly say the...

Perhaps the Finals clashes with the Japan tour mentioned in the release. Just a thought.

Really good band - sure they will be back in good shape for Preston and beyond.

I meant 'Prague' is great ;)

I have no issue with Ad Undas - it works fine.

I think the piece is great.

If you want something a little different to the straight forward hymn tune arrangement then you can adapt William Himes version of it. Thundersley did it recently for a Remembrance service and it...

I was just isolating one statement rather than speaking about specific bands. The general public does not owe bands a living.

Well said.

Spot on.

WOB profit goes to The Salvation Army's work. Kapitol (who are nothing to do with The SA, WOB simply buy the recording rights) are a private commercial organisation.

Not defending anyone's corner...

Exhibit A

Well, you said 'let it go', encouraging people not to discuss it, which if they did, the thread would be closed effectively, even if it wasn't actually locked. Unless actually you meant 'carry on,...

You've just nailed it on the head 'look far back enough'. The wider issue we are discussing is very much current.

Those who can't understand why something which is symbol of discrimination would be offensive have probably never experienced bullying or discrimination solely on the basis on the colour of their...

Without wanting to comment on the Bolsover incident directly (it's not really the issue here), I did want to respond to this post.

You wouldn't have had the outcry Tojo because this would be a...

Ok then, no.

Great thread animal.22

Anyone else heard this?

No - and even if I had I wouldn't give it second thought because it would be utter utter nonsense.

Ask yourself who is saying this stuff and whether it has any foundation. As Sandy has eluded to, this arrangement was written over 20 years ago for a band's attempt at the European Championships and...

It's a family event.......

If he associated Camsey with the piece (it was written for him by Bowes) then he is on the right lines and is au fait with SA composers. I suspect Mr Bale was being a bit smart ;)

I am sure he does Peter but I think you probably know that and why he has put Camsey. Don't be a clever dick!

P.S I think it's a super piece of music and would love to tackle it ;)
