Butlins clarify Fourth Section test piece

Bultins make sure the Fourth Section bands know exactly what bit of Holst they have to play in Skegness next January.

Gustav Holst
  If you are entering the Fourth Section at Butlins make sure you play the right bit of Holst...

In response to several enquiries the organizers of the 2018 Butlins Mineworkers Championship have informed 4BR that the Fourth Section set-work is '2nd Suite in F' by Gustav Holst, arranged by Sydney Herbert. This is currently published and supplied by Studio Music.

Wishing to enter

The contest takes place at the Skegness Resort over the weekend of January 12th-15th January. All sections will perform on the Saturday with the two-legged Championship Section and Youth event also on the Sunday.

All bands wishing to enter the Championship Festival must contact the Contest Administrator, Brian Eggleshaw to obtain an entry pack.
