This would be the best "Band" dedicated radio program in the world. Very knowledgable presenters, they must research their material thoroughly. A 3 hour program every week is a great effort. When will it be podcast or Archived? This would be a great inovation, to be able to access the show when the listeners find it more convenient. John Simpson. .

What a great show. I would recommend this program to anyone with an interest in the music, especially if you have an interest in Brass Bands or Concert Bands. They have a great range of smaller brass group music too. I love Canadian Brass and American Brass Quintet. Overall the best "Band" program in the world.
