British Open Brass Band Championships

Post by eeflattuba »

Was up in the the wee hours of Saturday morning listening via a live feed of the British Brass Band Championships. Stunning playing especially the tuba playing.. 2 EE flat tubas and 2 BB flat tubas.Even with my crappy headphones, the sound that these 4 instruments make was stunning. Andy Cattanach, who frequents this form, was playing BB flat tuba for the Fodens band who finished in 4th place.

Any tips on how to find a video feed, either archived for 2025, or live for 2026? A quick perusal of thebritishopen.net didn't turn up anything for me.
