Super second half from @NYBBGB under David King and Joshua Parkhill - filling the spacious acoustic with compact energised music making - demanding but so thoughtfully delivered - topped by the sublime @JamesFountain94

Lots to enjoy in a big programme first half from the @NYBBGB in an equally big acoustic at Blackburn Cathedral. David King has them very much on the point of his baton though. @JamesFountain94 was superb - ‘Zelda’ a perfect capricious diva.

A massive ✨THANK YOU✨ to @TheMusicCellar for fixing two of our band members instruments free of charge and at super short notice. We don’t know where we'd be without your kind gesture, so thank you for letting the music go on! #nybbg #BrassBand #BeKind
