Comedy Overture by John Ireland - Paxton Records 10" - The Fairey Band

This is side 1 from the thirteenth of the series of Paxton Brass Band 10 inch LPs released during the 1960s. LPT1026 from 1968. The Overture "Comedy" by John Ireland. This being a commissioned work for the Crystal Palace Championships in 1933, set something of a precedent, the normal practice being for an orchestral work to be transcribed for brass. Players are thought to be as follows... Principal Cornet - Norman Ashcroft. Soprano - Roy Roe, Euphonium - Marcus Cutts. These LPs are fairly rare now and quite collectable. The whole series will be available.
