Listen To The Band:
Radio 2:

29th June:

Redbridge Brass have just enjoyed a successful trip to the French Open Championship, and are London and Southern Counties area champions again.

Following last year's victory at the Butlins Mineworkers Championship, the band are in something of a 'purple patch'.

The perfect time then to record a session especially for the programme and with conductor Jeremy Wise they perform a varied and exciting programme which includes their French Open prize winning march, George Allen's 'The Wizard'.

We also hear the 'Scherzo' from Shostakovich's '10th Symphony', Elgar's lovely 'Chanson De Matin', the theme from the movie 'Silverado' and a Beatles classic 'Got To Get You Into My Life'.

The programme is presented by Frank Renton.
