To commemorate 100 years since the birth of Ray Steadman-Allen, Fully Scored has assembled a group of fantastic guests to share their personal memories of RSA. Andrew Blyth, Stephen Cobb, Kenneth Downie, Howard Evans, Bill Himes, Derick Kane and Barbara Steadman-Allen all give us an insight into the life of the great composer.

We were spoilt for choice for major works to analyse on this episode and eventually decided on 'Romans 8 - A brass celebration'. Renowned Trombonist Dudley Bright talks us through this great piece.
