3ZB'S BANDSMEN BROADCAST
Listeners Treated To Fine Entertainment
AVID COMBRIDGE of 3ZB, in addition to being a recognised authority on horticulture, is also a keen and energetic practical gardener in his spare time. But whenever there is anything of special importance taking place in the brass or pipe band world, David puts away his garden tools and for the time being calls a truce in his perpetual war against a myriad of insect pests. Through his association with the 3ZB band session, which has long been an institution on the Sunday morning programme, David has become a familiar figure in band
circles, and his regular visits to the practice rooms of the local bands have made him personally acquainted with most of the bandsmen in Christchurch. As a preliminary to the band festival at Lancaster Park on Sunday, February 4, arranged in connection with the first public appearance of the newly formed Burnham Camp Band, David was able to bring to the 3ZB studio well-known bandsmen who broadcast three times daily throughout the week prior to the festival. In addition to creating exceptional interest in the band festival, these solos, duets and quartets by members of the participating bands represented some of the finest available talent in New Zea-land-and talent which is heard in individual performances only too rarely. Christchurch is rightly proud of the achievements of its bandsmen, and the series of broadcasts leading up to the festival was followed with interest and much enjoyment by listeners to 3ZB.
