Brownless wins Making Music Award

Neil Brownless has won a prestigious Making Music Award in the 'Best Music Creator for Leisure time Music Groups'. The awards celebrate the work and commitment of leisure-time music and all too often, unrecognised talent that helps the music sector to flourish across the UK. The award winners were announced by Making Music President Debbie Wiseman OBE as part of an online evening of music making on Wednesday 8th September. Speaking about the awards she explained, "The overall standard was impressively high", whist fellow judge Dorothy Wilson MBE FRSA, Making Music Chair, added: "So much of what had been developed during lockdown and restrictions was truly inspiring."

Commenting on his award Neil stated, “I was very happy to be nominated for my piece, 'Keep the Rhythm Going', which I wrote to be performed virtually last year and which is now available for both brass and wind bands and am delighted to have won.”
