BRASS BANDS
Sir,-Judging by the large numbers of Brass Band defenders in these columns earlier this year, I am justified in making some complaints about the local For the Bandsman sessions: (1) The bandsmen of New Zealand are almost wholly from brass bands and do not ‘appreciate military band items, although in fairness a small proportion should be broadcast; (2) massed band items are generally enjoyed "in the flesh" only, and fail as’ recordings; (3) during the past few months I have noticed on numerous occasions only one side of a double-sided recording being broadcast. October 10 was such an occasion from 2YC. I am sure others as well as myself would like to hear a complete recording, or if time is a factor, none of the recording rather than half of it. Finally, the voice of the announcer over a subdued recording is in very ‘bad taste and completely ruins the enjoyment of the particular recording. request before I finish. The NZBS has now excellent recordings from four national contests. As a change from the well-worn overseas recordings could we not hear some of these?
