BANDS AND CHOIRS
_[N_ Bandstand the BBC Transcription | Service has brought together brass bands and choirs, the two most popular forms of amateur music-making in Britain. The members of Britain’s bands and choirs number several hundred thousand, and they appeal to an overall audience far greater than that attracted by the other groups ‘of amateur musicians-orchestras, soloists, vocal and instrumental. In general one finds the finest bands and choirs where some form of cultural relaxation is needed by a large number of people living and working close to one another, and it follows that they flourish most strongly in large industrial areas, particularly those of the north’of England. Bandstand presents programmes sometimes by a band ,only, sometimes by band and choir, and listeners to theprogramme from 1YA at 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, December 12, will hear music ‘by the Brighouse and Rastrick Band, conducted by Eric Ball.
