Andy makes a great point here - I wasn't quite a contemporary of Andy in the junior band in Whitburn ( I think I was either Baritone or euphonium in Whitburn Juniors at the time). But I Was part of the strong West Lothian Schools system being a Whitburn Academy pupil and part of the West Lothian Schools Brass band. There were so many of us who had opportunities to make music, play and march in gala days etc. Andy has gone on to be someone who I love listening to at the SSO. I didn't follow him in a musical career but have got back into it myself in the last 10 years with Clackmannanshire Band (on Eb bass funnily enough). Great interview Robert.
C est magnifique messieurs dames ! J aime ❤ bien ❤ sincèrement ❤ se que vous avez fais la musique 🎶 de la série télé de l homme qui valais 3 milliards messieurs dames ! Je vous souhaite messieurs dames une joyeuse continuation a vos magnifiques talents de la musique 🎶 chaque jour de la semaine comme aujourd'hui !
What a stunning performance! Superb editing too, making for a real festive treat. I played this with the band many years ago, so it was a wee trip down memory lane.
A great reminder that brass and wind bands can have some of the most brilliant percussion sections. Genius playing by both Ryan Bradley and Mike Lovatt, and an incredible band.
