A Radio Play by Francis Dillon

The cast includes: [see below]

A large engineering firm has moved from Lancashire to the South, and, with better times has decided to reform the old Prize Brass Band with a new conductor. This leads to conflict and petty tyranny and eventually to murder. The 'Two Brass Men' is the title of an old brass band number which is mainly a conversation piece between trombone and cornet, and the play is the development of the scene in dialogue.

(From Manchester)

('Two Brass Men' will be broadcast again tomorrow at 7.50 in the Regional programme)
