2021 SWBBA Online Solo & Quartet Contest
The recent South West Brass Band Association online Solo & Quartet contest was huge success with around 200 performances submitted. The event was sponsored by Trevada Music and adjudicated by Steve Sykes.
SWBBA Chair, John Woods stated: "The entries came from across the banding world, and proved that with an inventive approach these events works so well. It has been a goal of SWBBA to re-establish an annual Solo & Quartet event and the pandemic enabled this to become a reality. Now we would like feedback (contact: secretary@swbba.com ) from those who took part and who tuned in to enjoy it so that we can consider similar events going forward."
