Besses o' th' Barn

A few months ago I wrote about a lecture I attended with Tony Palmer who had directed a number of music documentaries over his career. Tony is producing a documentary for BBC 4 about Gustav Holst and he asked a couple of us from Salford to help. Tonight we are filming an excellent brass band from Whitfield play Holst's Moorside Suite 3rd Movement.

We researched the location this week and it's going to be a challenging shoot mainly due to the small size of the room we are using. The band consists of about 25 musicians leaving little room for little else. Capturing the sound will be a massive challenge also but we will se how we get on.
