Last in a series examining the social and musical history of the British brass band. 3: Peter Stead asks whether brass music is a spent force destined to drown in the sepia images of brown bread adverts and gardening make-over programmes or if it is still relevant in the 21st century. He travels to two Lancashire schools with unmatched reputations for excellence and watches the National Youth Brass Band of Wales rehearse a newly commissioned work. In doing so, he discovers that the young brass band players of today will be the top symphony orchestra players and soloists Of tomorrow. Producer Paul Evans
