Frank Renton with all the music and conversation from Royal Albert Hall where 20 of our top bands competed last Saturday at the National Brass Band Championships 2016. Cory will be looking to retain their crown as the sounds of Black Dyke, Brighouse and Rastrick, Flowers, Fairey's and Foden's amongst others, look to impress the judges.
