Brass in Concert champion, the cooperation band has spoken of its pride at representing Glasgow at a special 'Music of Sport' concert held at the city's Cathedral on the weekend.

The memorable event celebrated the spirit of community, achievement and excellence of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which recently brought representatives from 74 nations to the city.

Inspiring

An inspiring evening of music and storytelling featured performances by the band, the Glasgow Cathedral Choir and the acclaimed cathedral organist David Goodenough.

A highlight was the contribution of presenter Shona Brownlee MBE, whose personal experiences as a Paralympian and serving member of the RAF Central Band provided a powerfully uplifting thread throughout the concert.

The programme included a selection of iconic works inspired by sport and celebration, culminating in a stirring collective performance of 'Zadok the Priest'.

Memorable

Band chairperson, Keith Johnston told 4BR: "This was a truly memorable occasion performing in this historic setting alongside the Cathedral Choir and David Goodenough. It was a real privilege. The audience response was overwhelming, and we hope this is the first of many opportunities to perform in such an outstanding venue."
