THE top brass of York’s musical talent gathered in Museum Gardens to entertain visitors and promote their typically Northern sound.

The event saw the city’s main brass bands join up to perform throughout yesterday in an attempt to introduce a younger audience to the sound of brass.

Rachel Semlyen, one of the organisers of the Brassed On event, said: “It’s been fantastic. People have come especially for the event and I hope it’s something we would do again.”
