Hannah explores the towns taken over by marching brass bands for one day a year. Rosie Banham of Oldham鈥檚 Delph Band explains the allure of the Whit Friday parade and recommends a favourite marching band piece. Plus Hannah heads to Japan to discover its small but mighty banding scene with a brass arrangement of a traditional Japanese folk song. Elsewhere in the show there鈥檚 a hymn for Manchester from Tubular Brass, a tribute to Benjamin Britten from composer Simon Dobson, and a track demonstrating an early adoption of electronic equipment into brass bands.
