In light of the current difficulties with the postal service and with just over two weeks to go to this year's popular Brass in Concert Workshops, the organisers have informed 4BR that potential students for Saturday 14th November may reserve a place by e-mail to avoid any delays.

The tremendous line-up of tutors will be led by Dr Nicholas Childs and students will get the chance to play on The Sage concourse under the Black Dyke MD.

Tremendous opportunity

Alan Hope told 4BR: "This really is is a tremendous opportunity for players of all ages and abilities, and the workshop is geared to be fun as well as very instructive. It's proving to be very popular, so we hope that people can get in touch to attend through e-mail as well as the post."
