I can just imagine ol/ Phillip Wills racing off to the sounds of an English brass factory band. Many were formed not among factories but at coal mines and the miner's clubs & welfares, and in Scotland and Wales as well as England. Also, some call themselves Silver Bands rather than Brass Bands. However in this day and age most of the factories and just about all the mines have closed. Thankfully some of the bands live on, but I suspect some died, or died when they needed new instruments. BTW I don't think there have ever been many brass factories in England... ![]() |

Alas, here in the states, baritone and euphonium are almost interchangable in our band lit. Agree that Satie would be good in the winter riding wave; definately Wagner in the rotor. Mahler's 1st symphony (Titan) would be my choice for ridge running. Gary GE8 |
