On this episode, host Matthew Frost is joined (virtually) by Garry Todd – the long-time Principal Cornet of the Melbourne Staff Band. Born in the UK, Garry talks about his formative years at Chalk Farm and then his move to the other side of the world. Garry also talks about other stereotypical Australian topics: cricket, vegemite and lions.

Ron Holz returns to Fully Scored to share a just a fraction of his wealth of Salvation Army music-knowledge. James Curnow’s ‘The great salvation war’ is the topic for this episode’s analysis.

From an idyllic island to the Arid Island. Armed with just one album, Jerome Astwood leaves the tranquillity of Bermuda and heads to a much less appealing environment. But what album will he choose to keep him company?

Regular features, Band Manager, Sparsely Scored and Bandmastermind complete another episode.
