Article in the paper the other day reminded me of the effect the demise of big industrial firms over the last few decades has had on what you might call home-made music. Most of our brass bands and many of our male voice choirs were tied in with collieries and steelworks and such. And as those collieries and the like have closed so the brass bands and choirs have disappeared. And we can ill afford to lose them.
