Brass Band Festival 1972 Canada Black Dyke, CWS Manchester, GUS and Fairey Part Two 

This video and it's predecessor are wonderful. So many legends of the brass band world here. I was privileged to know and play with some of them. Incredible to see a young Jim Shepherd who I had the honour to play with in Versatile Brass in the 1990's and so sad to think that I attended his funeral just a few short months back. Phillip McCann looks so young as well!

I love it. Thank you!

Haven't played a note in a few years but brought this video back to reminisce the golden years as a brass bandsmen in Toronto.

Sad there are so few comments for this remarkable record of British brass band history. A triumvirate of great British brass band conductors here: Harry Mortimer, Eric Ball and Geoffrey Brand ( who only left us last month at the remarkable age of 96). It's fun spotting players also especially the solo cornets of the 4 bands featured.

Never seen this two part documentary before, excellent.

amazing, wonderful, how could it not be given the players and conductors.

Thanks for this. After looking at your channel, I see a few other ones too. Nice to see a bit of brass band history.

Fascinating footage. Notice there are no women in the bands then. Huge change nowadays.
