Retired Bandmaster Michael Clack is well known as a Bandmaster, an educator, a pianist and an organist. Matthew talks to Michael about all facets of his music-making and some of the many experiences that music and The Salvation Army have afforded him during his lifetime of service.

Divisional Music Director Eric Dina joins Matthew to talk about one of James Curnow’s lesser-known major works. Variations on ‘Terra Beata’ was originally written for brass choir and then rescored for brass band at the request of James Curnow’s good friend, William Himes.

Lieut-Colonel Paul Kingscott is the highest-ranking officer to have inhabited Fully Scored’s Arid Island. What album will he choose to take with him to keep him occupied?

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