YOUNG County Durham brass musicians will hone their technique at the weekend with one of the country's leading band conductors.
Nicholas Childs, conductor of the Black Dyke Band, will lead a workshop for youngsters at County Hall, Durham, on Sunday.
It is hoped to have representatives of most of the county's 26 brass bands taking part.
This is the third workshop Mr Childs has held after he was impressed with the response from the first.
Alan Hood, Durham County Council's music development officer, said: "Nic's workshops usually attract about 50 young players aged from 11 to 25, of all abilities from un-graded through to diploma level.
"As usual, he is bringing three Black Dyke principals - Lesley Howie, tenor horn, Philip Goodwin, tuba, and Morvern Gilchrist, cornet.
"County Hall is an excellent venue for this kind of event, which culminates in a full blown concert for parents and friends."
