For the 16th episode of 'Besson Fridays at Home' tonight (Friday 12th March — 6.00pm), sees Philip Harper, Roger Webster and Steven Mead welcome the formidable tuba section of the world's number 1 ranked band.
Simon Howell, Kate James, Rob Nicholson and Tim Evans lay the musical foundations on which Cory build their title winning performances — and what foundations they are.
Strengths
As with any successful team they each brings different strengths and talents to focus their communal ambition — as well as complementary personalities.
Philip Harper is clearly very proud of his players, and this episode is full of great stories, accompanied by laughter and banter between hosts and guests.
We also learn details of the incredible events that led up to Rob Nicholson's kidney transplant and how he was so eager to get back to playing with the band, and we also get to hear the team in action at the 2017 and 2019 British Open Championships, the Europeans and Brass in Concert.
Tips
And whilst they don't give away all the secrets of their success, they certainly share plenty of tips on all aspects of great section work — from shared breathing, pedal note playing, improving technique and who keeps who in order!
It's a great programme about dedication, commitment, teamwork and talent — so don't miss it!
