Isolation videos - Pandemic Lockdown
Remote recording is tricky at best. MSB members sent in videos from their homes, which Band Director Fran Harvey stitched together to create a single "play-at-home" video. While we all miss playing together, little projects like these have shone a little light into these challenging times.

The Cross of Honour (William Rimmer)
Recorded at home August 2020 Our first isolation video! Rimmer's The Cross of Honour was originally composed for brass band and featured in the iconic 1996 film Brassed Off. It is one of the most frequently performed brass band marches ever composed. |

Recorded at home September 2020 We got together again for a second video - this time Salvationist's Fen Watkin's arrangement of Duke St. Fen arranged this for us many years ago, and it has become our signature tune, ending many concerts over the years. |
