Cory full of The Spirit of Brass to help launch initiative

The world's number 1 band has recorded 'The Spirit of Brass' to help boost the BrassFestUK initiative — so why not join them!

Spirit Of Brass
  Cory has supported the BrassFestUK initiative by recording the special 'The Spirit of Brass' composition

Fresh from their recent performances in both Oostende at the European Championships and the London Palladium, Cory took time to record the new work that has been penned for BrassFestUK 2017.

Composed by Gavin Somerset, 'The Spirit of Brass' has been proving a hit with many bands across the UK as they prepare to take part in BrassFestUK over the weekend of 7th — 9th July.

Single weekend

The recording aims to raise the profile of the event and hopefully encourage more bands to participate in the attempt to get over 100 bands performing on a single weekend.

The specially commissioned music is available for just £10.00, or even better value at just £7.00 as a digital download from Pennine Music!

A special youth band version of the work is also available, making the BrassFestUK event open to bands of many levels.
