Black Dyke Band: Monday YouTube Fix

Monday YouTube Fix
Written By Andrew Hitz

I am amazed by the brass band tradition in England.  There are countless hours of nearly flawless brass playing on YouTube from the great brass bands.  This is a really great clip because it is so long. The amount of great tone emanating from the Black Dyke Band in this clip is really incredible.  The blend of tone, articulation and note length leads to a real "meltdown" of sound.  This is just awesome playing.

Enjoy!

University partners Black Dyke Band returned to Leeds Met this month, as a weekend feast of musical events got underway. The world-famous brass band held concerts over the weekend of June 12 to 13. On Saturday, Gandhi Hall was the venue for a Lower Brass Spotlight led by David Thornton and Joseph Cook, held between 11.30am and 3.45pm.
