The book to which John Miller refers in this lecture is to be published later this year and is available for pre-order. It's a bit on the pricey side unfortunately, but look of great interest to anyone with an interest in brass which extends beyond just brass bands. Details here...

Der Geist des Weiwoden (Ludwick Grossmann arr. Peter Parkes) A second-hand set of parts and full score in good condition. All parts in manuscript. As recorded by the Black Dyke Mills Band on their old CD The Concert Sound of the Black Dyke Mills Band (1981). Available here...

Pop Goes the Posthorn (W Hogarth Lear). A second-hand set of parts with short score for brass band. Some parts are marked but are clearly legible. Please note that this set does not include a soprano or repiano cornet part (presumably as the players are deemed to be the posthorn soloists)...

I just stumbled on this online lecture by John Miller from a couple of years ago. It's mostly about orchestral brass ensembles but there are plenty of references to the brass band, especially in the Q & A after the lecture. (I like the reference to John McCabe particularly!) Might be of...

Hello Jim, I asked that question a while ago as I miss the letters (and the editorial column) too. Mr Fox told me, and I quote directly from his reply, that he "just cannot be bothered to edit an echo chamber of increasingly crass libelness (sic) nonsense from people with worthless opinions"...

It isn't in my collection I'm afraid. Offhand, I don't know of any commercial recording of this piece. Sorry.

The picture was published in the War Cry, the house journal of the Salvation Army, on 15th May 1886. Below is the text which accompanied the picture. Strangely enough, it makes no mention of the competing merits of the various valve systems of brass instruments. But I suppose the writer had...

I was having a tidy-up the other day and came across this document. It's the picture which inspired Ray Steadman-Allen's brilliant work Victorian Snapshots - On Ratcliffe Highway. When you compare the picture with the extraordinary depth of the work you realise just how much imagination and...

Is there anybody out there who was a member of the now defunct Berkhamsted and Boxmoor Band, particularly around the early to mid 1980s? I've been digitising my old 35mm slide collection recently, and pictures from that time have revived a lot of old memories.

I ordered this CD in early November when it was first advertised and reviewed in Brass Band World magazine as their CD of the Year 2015! An email to the Tredegar band's webmaster a week ago hasn't brought a response yet though, which is frustrating because I would rather like to hear the music...

I work in the biosciences industry and was interested in the claims being made for this product. The website mentions "proven results from extensive trials" so I asked whether the results had been published. The answer I got was that 200 participants were involved, with 25% of them given...

Thanks all, it's as I suspected!

Hi Can anyone tell me who publishes Alan Catherall's arrangement of Oklahoma! It doesn't seem to appear in any publisher's website I can find. Thanks.

Is there any news of this project, one year on? Thanks.
