Brass Bands England has announced that there has been a great deal on interest generated in the forthcoming English National Championships since news was released of its new venue at the Elgar Concert Hall, in the Bramall Music Building at the University of Birmingham on Saturday 29th June.
Fantastic venue
A spokesperson told 4BR: "Brass Bands England is delighted to bring the first brass band contest to this fantastic venue."
The full day of contest action, featuring some of the top English bands will commence at 10.30am with the set test piece, George Lloyd’s ‘Variations on a Bass Theme’ — an appropriate choice by the ENBBC Music Panel as it coincides with the weekend of George Lloyd’s centenary.
