A podcast where we explore the rich culture and history of the brass banding world. Each episode myself and a guest will delve into a topic from the brass band past - contests, conductors, clothing and everything in between.

In this episode I chat to banding icon Ray Farr about his research into the Distin Family and their extraodinary impact on the beginnings of the brass band movement. We discuss the groups origins, tenor horn vs. alto saxhorn, missing testpieces and the wonderful array of instruments being performed at the time.
Podcast music is Mephistopheles performed by the Illinois Brass Band
