Dave and Kenny are joined in the Symphony Hall Birmingham this week by conductor and adjudicator Michael Fowles and fellow adjudicator, lecturer and euphonium virtuoso, David Thornton. We ask if contesting is a sport and if we have the need for a governing body. We also ask what banding looks like 30 years from now. A round table forum for Episode 11 brought to you by KGC Media in conjunction with the British Bandsman and Symphony Hall, Birmingham.

Dave and Kenny preview the 164th British Open Championship. We look at the test piece, the form of each band then give what will probably prove to be a wildy inaccurate prediction of the result.

Dave and Kenny are joined from Bergen in Norway by Birgitte Bjornsdatter Bruget, principal trombone of the Manger Musikklag Band and Dave Morton, principal cornet of the Eikanger-Bjorsvik Musikklag band. They discuss the impending arrival of their first baby, productive banding rivalries and the differences in outlook between the top bands in the UK and Norway.

Also on the radar are band secretaries and how banding can be inspired by some Olympic style organisation.
