Welcome to the Brass and Military YouTube Channel.
This channel is devoted to filling in the gap left by the lack of live brass and military band music in the modern era. Previously, there would be a live military band playing on the Eastbourne Bandstand, for example, every day throughout the summer. Now, only one band plays for a full week.
This channel features music conducted and even written by the legends of band music, including Major F. J. Ricketts (Kenneth Alford) and Sir Vivian Dunn. These gramophone records come from a golden era of military bands, and they have been transferred to digital media using the best hardware and software we have available today.
There is less brass band music on here, for now. As recordings from the 60s and 70s come out of copyright, many more will be added to this channel. This is my way of giving back to a genre which has given me much pleasure over the years, and may it help to keep the band music tradition alive.
