Hannah looks to the future with the University Brass scene and music from the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain. Plus a triumphant underdog story and a visit to Yorkshire.

With a look to the future, Hannah discovers the University Brass scene with a piece composed, conducted, and played by students. A triumphant underdog story takes us to Gloucester where Gregor Spence, the young band manager of Flowers Band, talks about his vision for the future of banding and recommends a piece. Plus Hannah pays a visit to Yorkshire with a piece inspired by artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain plays a celebratory piece marking their 70th birthday.
