About

Wonderful Irish-themed music for wind band/military band written by three hugely talented brothers who were directors of top military bands in England, in the Army, the Royal Marines and the RAF. Much of this music is unknown, has been unjustly forgotten and indeed has not been played for almost a century. Many of the works on this recording were way ahead of their time. We also have some music arranged for the legendary BBC Wireless Military Band, which broadcast weekly between 1927 and 1943 and featured many of London’s finest orchestral musicians. It was conducted by Bertram Walton O’Donnell and then by his brother Percy.
