Some of the biggest names in the brass band world have done their bit again to help out Brass Band Aid's great project.
Many of the biggest stars in the brass band world and beyond have recently combined to record the latest Brass Band Aid CD, featuring Karl Jenkins' masterpiece 'The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace', arranged for brass band, choir and organ by Andrew Wainwright & Duncan Gibbs.
The work, which is the only piece by a living composer to feature in the 'Classic FM Hall of Fame' Top 10, was premiered in 2005 and since then a number of performances have taken place.
For the recording, the Brass Band Aid Celebrity Band feature alongside the BBA Festival Chorus, and four guest vocal soloists, including Nicky Spence, who recently performed at the Classical Brit Awards and has just signed a huge contract with Universal.
Howard J. Evans is the musical director for the recording, which it is hoped will be released at the Nationals at the Royal Albert Hall in October.
