The virtual performances of Whitburn Band have been recognised by BBC Radio 2 DJ Ken Bruce and Classic FM.
The Scottish Open champion published six new performances over the festive season. Whitburn’s performance of Leroy Anderson’s ‘A Christmas Festival’ was shared by BBC Radio 2 legend Ken Bruce on Twitter.
He said: “Here’s something to lift your mood this week from the fabulous @whitburnband. I appeared with them on @BBCTwo Best of Brass many years ago! They’ve survived it well.”
The DJ used to introduce Whitburn’s performances on the television contest programme in the 1980s when Whitburn was conducted by Major Peter Parkes. The band then received another major boost on January 2 when Classic FM shared the performance of ‘ABBA Goes Brass’ by Alan Fernie on their Facebook page. You can watch all of Whitburn’s performances, including ‘A Christmas Festival’ and ‘ABBA Goes Brass’, on the band’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
