Following the success of the campaign led by 4BR to get Malcolm Arnold’s 'Padstow Lifeboat' included on Classic FM’se top 300 classical pieces in the UK (it eventually made it in at number 98, and gained an article feature in the Classic FM magazine), the chance has come around again to make a brass band mark on the station.
