Hello Soeren!

Nice to know who you are! This list is a great way to meet other band
enthousiastics all over the world. The band world is very small, so maybe you
know a man who also lives in Denmark who is a very good friend of my in-laws.
His name is Oskar Sundvall and lives in the surroundings of Kopenhagen. He
played principal cornet in Concord Brass Band. About 30 years ago he had lived
in Rotterdam (the city where I live in the Netherlands) for a year and a still
lasting friendship started then. I met him several times (he regularly visits
us). He is a very enthousiastic musician and a clever and friendly man too.
Maybe you know him because he is also in his fifties....

I think it will not become a complete substitute of the magazines, but I am
sure this way of communication will become very important. They should take
this medium very serious, but I am afraid they do not. Besides, Brass Band
World claims to have an international view on the brassband scene.
Unfortunately almost 99% in this magazine is about BRITISH Banding (and lots of
political affairs)! However the articles in Brassband World are well-written,
but I prefer British Bandsman. Are there other people who have comments on the
brassband magazines?

It should be great!

Interesting! I also work for a radio station I produce and present a weekly 1
hour lasting programme about wind music (wind band, fanfare band and
brassband). Unfortunately it does not pay well.....

I would I could listen to this programme, in the past BBC 2 and 3 were
available on the cable, but the cable-provider decided to cut these stations.
(@#()$*&))!!!
I miss (especially) the broadcastings with recordings of live events
(Nationals, British Open, Festival of Brass). I wish that there was somebody
out there who is prepared to make cassette-tapes of these programs for me (for
which I would be very gratefull).   

P.s. I play solo-euphonium with Brassband Schoonhoven and 2nd euphonium with a
recently founded brass brassband of which most players are professionals. At
the moment the band reheares the test-pieces:

Stonehenge - Jan van der Roost (a GREAT piece) British bands and contest
organisers wake up ---> this piece from the Belgium composer is really great
and difficult to play too!! 
Diversions on a Bass Theme - George Lloyd (also great but less than Stonehenge)
Forest of Dean - Derek Bourgeois

TOEDELODOKIE!
