A Kentish Suite

/ Media / A Kentish Suite

Cranbrook’s famous St. Dunstans Church provided the ideal recording location when the band decided to follow the success of their first recording with a compilation of Brass, Classical and Popular music.

Recorded on the 17th and 31st of May 1997, “A Kentish Suite” features many popular favourites but takes its name from a composition written for the band.

The piece reflects three famous locations in Kent:- Canterbury Cathedral, Scotney Castle and the White Windmill (Pictured) “Cranbrook”.
