Rip roaring

There is also a rip-roaring grand concert march entitled, 'On The Castle Green' and the hugely enjoyable Brass in Concert finale for Brighouse & Rastrick — the magical 'Enchanted Kingdom'.

Huge hits

Two huge hits over the Summer were PLC's tub-thumping rock style opener, 'Pound The Streets' composed for the Tartan Heart Music Festival 2010 and 'Wall of Sound' — a real feel-good concert finale composed for the National Children's Band of Great Britain.
