In the first episode, Elland Youth and Wardle Junior Blast are featured, along with the band from the Elementary School of Japan.

Supporting bands

The Brass Roots series is sponsored by Brass Bands England as part of their remit for supporting banding across all sectors, and includes an interview with its newly appointed CEO, Kenny Crookston.

Lee Skipsey and the City of Bradford organisation are also featured, having just added a third band to their incredible structure, whilst there is also extensive coverage of the recent world premiere of 'Surtaal Suite No 1', by composer Liz Lane.
