Oddly enough both pieces this week share the date of 1967. Although unconnected they make it a very memorable year for me.
It was in 1967 year they launched a new lifeboat at Padstow on the North Coast of Cornwall and Malcolm Arnold who was living in Cornwall at the time was asked to write a special march for the occasion, and it's my Track of the Week.
It’s also the year that I was in my first year as a Student Bandmaster at the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, and I first heard and then conducted what I consider to be one of the greatest pieces ever written for a Brass Band and one I adore conducting to this day.
