  Thee have been even more new additions to the Wobplay platform

There is even more great new music to enjoy on the Wobplay.com recording platform.

Open and Nationals

September saw the 169th British Open Championships at Symphony Hall in Birmingham, where Foden's turned up the musical heat on a scorching day to boiling point on Thierry Deleruyelle's 'Sand and Stars' to claim the title.

You can now enjoy that performance again — as well as all the other contenders on what was a memorable occasion.

In addition, there were plenty of fine performances to hear at the Cheltenham National Finals — and every one of the 79 bands were recorded in the four sections of competition.

Flowers and Masterclasses

There is also a cracking new release from Flowers Band with their 'Da Vinci' release that not only features Ludovic Neurohr's work, but also showcases the band's fine soloists and works from some of the talented composers they have linked up with in recent times.

All this and you can also enjoy an early listen to the test-pieces that have been chosen for the 2024 Regional Championships, the 'Colour Collection' and 'Manuscript II' selections and masterclasses from Sheona White and David Thornton.
