'We don't want to see the band die - it would be an absolute tragedy'

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

It was around a year ago when BBC Radio Leicester brought you the story that Enderby Brass Band were left homeless. It was because of a methane gas break out at their base at Huncote Leisure Centre. Then the University of Leicester kindly offered their facilities for a period of time, but the band still remain fractured, being split up all over the county. But without further funding, the future of Enderby Band is in serious doubt. Elaine Cook, the bands' treasurer and Garry Sleath, the bands' President, explain their current situation to Ben Jackson.
