4BR Awards — The Results

Forget 'X Factor' and 'Strictly Come Dancing' — the most important votes of the year have been counted and the winners can be revealed. Drum roll please...

Awards
 

Once again there has been a wonderful response to the 4BR Awards. Now in their eighth year they are now seen as the leading awards in the banding movement – espeically as this year over 11,000 people took the opportunity from 88 countries to vote (based on IP information).

Huge variety

All those votes have now been counted with a huge variety of bands, players, conductors, CDs, performances and test pieces getting a nomination of some kind – and some of which we had never heard of!

So before you go to the results, just a word of thanks from all of us at 4BR to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and musical New Year4BR Team
