The Stanshawe Band in Bristol has conveyed the death of its music director, Brian Howard.

They say: ‘Brian was a superb player and as a conductor gave the band an edge and precision which was evident in many of our performances under him, none more so than the Best of Brass Final in 1979.’

    How sad! Brian’s untimely passing is just the latest regrettable subtraction from the music world’s whole. Our sympathies are with Brian’s family, friends, and countless musical colleagues.
