I thought it went very well. A good way to spend a Saturday afternoon although it would have been nice to see the instruments. A woodwind day next year?

A shame Petroc spoiled it at the end by saying join Paul and I  Shocked

A great afternoon, Tony, although some moaner at ToP is already making smart-alec comments about (I guess) the Uzbecks, who to my ears made the most wonderfully evocative noise. (If it's not them, it was the sagbutts and cornetts.) (Or both.)

I enjoyed the aftrenoon concert very  much and felt it was a very well-chosen programme with some welcome contrasts.

What a curious history Elgar's 'Severn Suite ' has had. I do still prefer his own orchestral arrangement,but the  restored and corected C major version for band was very welcome. 

I could have done  without either of the latter items in favour of John Ireland's lovely 'Downland'Suite which illustrates well the lyrical quality of the brass band,  which Paul Hindmarsh mentioned.

...not least because of the sound the Karnay makes. It is hard to describe it accurately to give it its full glory, but imagine the noise of an enflamed hippopotamus crossed with Herefordshire Bull in the final throes of castration – all at a decibel level that could percolate coffee, and you may not even be close.
