CD Recording

The Wantage 'A' Band spent the weekend of 16-18 July in Graham Blyth's studio at Challow recording their new CD. This features solos by Ian Brown (euphonium), Brian Thomas (soprano cornet), Steve Chapman (cornet) and Nicola Morrell (flugel) and a nice mix of marches, overtures and popular numbers - plus a larger work, the magical 'Sorcerers Apprentice' . The format of the CD is not yet decided - but after editing, it should be available some time in the autumn.
