The Music Lives On Now The Mines Have Gone

If you only purchase one colliery brass band album, this should be the one

I have played this repeatedly since it arrived today

It is absolutely brilliant and a sheer joy to listen to

Chris Bolam "Chris" (Fife, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Music Lives On Now The Mines Have Gone (Audio CD)

I'm biased because I play with Buckhaven and Methil Miners Brass Band (Track 10) but it's a very good CD and covers a range of abilities. Good selection of music types and all well played, especially track 10!
