All England Masters 2009

Desford Colliery Band was delighted to have been awarded 2nd place at this year’s All-England International Masters Championship. Defending the title won last year conductor Jason Katsikaris produced a rhythmically detailed reading of “Master of Space and Time” which was well received by all three adjudicators, audience and band alike.

Jason also conducted Desford in a pre contest concert the Saturday evening. The audience although small was very appreciative of the band’s efforts. There is an entertaining review on 4barsrest.com well worth a read. When asked for his thoughts Jason said:

“I had the best time working with the band: Desford is a unique organisation which, on minimal rehearsal, delivers a standard of performance that is first rate.”
