World of Brass Radio:

From Friday the 19th November World of Brass Radio will feature Robert Childs in conversation with John Maines.

Robert talks about his new book, 'Cory, Cory, Hallelujah' which has just been released to celebrate 125 years of that fine band from the Rhondda Valley.

As well as telling us about the book Robert talks frankly about his time as a young player in South Wales and his thoughts on the future of the band movement in general, dispelling a few rumours on the way!

To access the programme go to www.worldofbrass.com/wobradio or simply visit the World of Brass website and click on the link for World of Brass Radio.
