The foundation and development of the British brass band in 19th century is a historical, social and cultural phenomenon and represents the foundation of the modern European and international brass band movement. Authors like Trevor Herbert, Arnold Myers and Roy Newsome mention and acknowledge the relevance of the Distin Family brass ensemble, however, extensive research has produced new information, and this book examines the various Distin projects as the main reason why brass bands of today are established in their current form.
