More than a ‘Brass Band’
How refreshing for me, (a cornetist who spends the majority of his musical life playing in brass bands) to be able to travel to America and perform with a brass band (BBBC) that is so much more than a ‘brass band’. The range and versatility of BBBC never ceases to amaze and impress me. First rehearsal is always a ‘sit back and listen’ experience as the various ‘greats’ in BBBC kick in and do their thing. The BBBC relationship with the loyal and supportive audience / friends is unique. As a soloist I perform all around the world with many types of ensembles…BBBC is once again unique. It never feels like the usual soloist – accompaniment relationship. With BBBC it really is all about the team…management, players, conductor, support staff and audience…how refreshing! All stars…yet NO stars!! Perfect.
