The Fermanagh & Tyrone Brass Band Summer School (FTBBSS) has announced that two of the brass band movement's top stars will be joining them this year to present a special evening before the annual Brass Band League Solo & Ensemble Competition.

An Evening with...

Besson Musical Instrument stars Owen Farr and Les Neish will present 'An Evening with…' on Friday 15th February at Malone Presbyterian Church Halls, BT9 6GT (7.00pm), offering a great opportunity for players and brass band lovers of all ages and standards to not only meet the adjudicators for the event, but to also hear them in performance mode.

Owen and Les will also answer all sorts of questions that anyone wishes to ask them (musical of course!) as well as giving invaluable tips and advice on how to prepare a new piece and how to overcome performance nerves.
