Reviews

'It is a long overdue work, extensively researched, very well produced and written in an open and enjoyable narrative style that retains warmth and affection for the subject matter yet maintains a detachment of purpose that allows for well balanced critical analysis... Dr Roy Newsome should wholeheartedly be congratulated, for he has produced quite a wonderful, insightful book that should form the backbone of any brass music students reading list and deserves to be seen on the bookshelf of anyone who has more than a passing regard to the brass band movement, its history and its future.' 4barsrest.com ’.The book is engagingly written and generously illustrated throughout...Highly recommended.’ Choice
