We've had all the debate about Brass band music on the radio e.t.c.-what about brass band magazines? Which magazine do you buy? or do you not buy them and why?!

Highams said:The BBW started off great but has also declined and is expensive, the quality of the centre band pics. is now dreadful.
Highams said:Yes I get the BB and BBW, the BB because it's the only weekly, though it's getting worse and the Internet will gradually take over I think.

The best ever was Sounding Brass, many years ago.

I've been a subscriber to the Brass Herald since the first issue, and would definitely recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in the wider area of brass playing...and with some very highly respected contributors.
