The British Brass Band is based on an earlier volume, Bands, published by Open University Press (1991) as part of its Popular Music in Britain Series. It was hailed as the most detailed and scholarly treatment of its subject. For the present volume, the original chapters have been heavilyrevised and an additional three chapters added, together with new and extensive appendices, numerous illustrations, a bibliography, and a new introduction.
