Current Scottish Champions The Co-Operative Funeralcare Band with a programme of specially recorded music.

The Band has been making music for over ninety years. Over that time, it has proved to be the most successful band in the history of Scottish brass band music. They have been Scottish champions 29 times and, during the 1990s, twice carried back to Scotland the National Championship of Great Britain - the only Scottish band ever to win this prestigious championship.

Presented by Frank Renton and conducted by Raymond Tennant they play music from the hit musical Jesus Christ Superstar, A Gaelic Blessing and the classic Prelude, Toccata and Fugue by Philip Sparke.
