Such superb euphonium playing by Morgan Griffiths - exemplary in every way. The instrument was invented for moments like this and you were born to play it Morgan!
This is the best I have ever heard... and I have heard some brass band... Everything comes together, a brilliant piece of writing, a great conductor, brilliant band, fabulous soloists! So inspirational! Thank you!
With great thanks to Morgan Griffiths who provided me with the list, here are the names of the performers who brought this tremendous performance into our lives: Alan Withington: conductor Kevin Crockford: soprano Ian Porthouse (principal), Lee Rigg, Brian Taylor and Neil Heywood: solo cornets Pete Shaw: Repiano cornet Martin Booth, Gary Parke: 2nd Cornets Jimmy Legatt and Sean Conway: 3rd Cornets Neil Hewson: Flugelhorn Owen Farr, Simon Jones and Robbie Cargill: Eb Tenor Horns Gareth Brindle and Nigel Beasley: Baritones Nick Hudson, Andrew Gillooly: Trombones and Geraint Griffiths: Bass Trombone Morgan Griffiths (principal solo) and Ian Yates: Euphoniums Les Neish and Will Evans: Eb Basses Jon Davies and Roy Batty: Bb Basses Jason Jones, Ian Bowd and Paul Lovatt Cooper Percussion. Resident Conductor Brian Hurdley.
The 1994 performance of this by Fairies at the European was much better. Blew this out of the water and was considered one of the all time great brass band performances.
