“Brass Factor is helping to secure the future of brass bands in Yorkshire and I’m delighted to be involved, look forward to listening to the music and helping to choose the winners.”

Each band plays a 20-minute set and then the audience and judges vote for the band with the Brass Factor.

Founder, Alex Bray said: “Peter’s support is warmly welcomed as we know that in his appearances in The Yorkshire Vet series he has been extremely popular; it is enjoyed by many of our own brass band audiences.”
