Wire Brass

While browsing the internet I came across a site that archives old websites. I thought it would be interesting to look at the 4BarsRest rankings that have been archived over the past few years and plot the sucess of Wire Brass. The graph of results is below. Our ranking as of 29th May 2009 is 41st.

Following our great result at the Grand Shield we have had a ‘swappng of seats’ on the back row. Rob Stevenson leaves us from 3rd cornet but we are pleased to announce the signing of John Breeze on 2nd Cornet. His vast experience (having played with Leyland, Faireys and Fodens) will further strengthen an already strong cornet section.

What a night…… Appaling conditions made playing incredibly difficult and a late start meant the band only played at 4 venues, but the bands performances of ‘The Wizard’ went down well with the adjudicators. The results are below.

Delph – 6th (out of 80) – £200 prize money
Diggle – 11th
Lydgate – 5th
Scouthead – 5th

Below are 2 videos (poor quality Im afraid) of the band playing at Delph

The band have had a special arrangement written of Sing, Sang, Sung – originally performed by Gordon Goodwins Big Phat Band. Below is a performance of the great work (so we can hear how it SHOULD sound!)
