The inaugural Scottish Brass Band Association Conductors Course has been heralded as a major success, following two days of intensive practical tuition at Perth University last weekend.

4BR caught up with SBBA Development Officer Alan Edmond to find out more about the ground breaking event, how it came about, and just what it could mean for the future of Scottish banding..

We asked Alan how did it come about in the first place...

The 4BR Editor Iwan Fox was at the SBBA Course and his retrospective and gallery of images are at the following links:
