Butlins Mineworkers Contest 2008

The choice of test piece was a golden oldie - Edward Gregson’s The Plantagenets - a piece we’d been practising since last year for the Leicester and Leamington contests. It’s a great piece, full of clever musicality and the odd trap-door for the unsuspecting soloists.
