Highlight

Writing on his personal Facebook page he said: "Today was a highlight in my musical life, to be honoured with a Fellowship from the Royal Northern College of Music for my contribution to the musical life of the RNCM and to brass bands.

It has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career to curate the annual brass band festival, which I started as a BBC series 32 years ago, to witness so many fabulous performances and to enable so much new music for the medium to be launched.

Thank you RNCM and thanks also to David Thornton for his lovely presentation."

That has been very humbling, and I must thank everyone for taking the time to do so. It means a great deal and I hope I can say thank you in person to everyone at the RNCM Brass Band Festival in JanuaryPaul Hindmarsh
