Hannah meets archivist Tim Mutum, who holds an impressive collection of brass band LPs, and she discovers the banding scene of New Zealand.

Hannah meets archivist Tim Mutum, who holds an impressive collection of brass band LPs, and hears one of his favourite pieces. She travels across the globe to discover New Zealand’s thriving banding scene, and plays a piece inspired by the national pride of both New Zealand and Wales. Plus, an expressive love song from Ivor Novello award-winning composer Gavin Higgins, a recent composition from Martin Green inspired by brass banding’s strong mining history, and a rearrangement of Debussy’s Sunken Cathedral.
