We have had a great weekend of recording at the impressive Clothworkers’ Centenary Concert Hall at Leeds University with the ‘Otley Brass Band’ and their development group, ‘Wharfe Brass’.
Centrally featured in the forthcoming CD is a new arrangement by David Lancaster of the famous Yorkshire song, ‘On Ilka Moor Baht ‘at‘. Funds have been secured through a kind donation from the “Friends of Ilkley Music Centre” to commission a Brass Band and Choral version of this musical icon of Yorkshire in order to secure its tradition and heritage.
To learn more about the bands and the ‘Otley Band Baht’at’ project please go to the band’s website at http://www.otleybrassband.co.uk/Welcome.html
