A representative from the Friends of the NYBBW commented, “We are very grateful to the City of Cardiff (Melingriffith) Band organisation, Oriana Publications, Ev-Entz Music, Kapitol Promotions and World of Brass for their support in putting this event on. It's looking like being a brilliant night - if you can encourage your friends and family to attend it'll be even better! Please share the frankly brilliant programme, conductors and soloists with your fellow brass-banders and let's try and make it a night to remember, and a full house.”
