Another Brass Band Advent Calendar: 8. James Bond Collection

For your ears and eyes only, a fine Goff Richards medley

• Piece: James Bond Collection;
• Composer: Various, including John Barry and Carole Bayer-Sager;
• Arranger: Goff Richards.

As well as thematic concerts for brass band players and musical directors, there is another given about the festive season: a James Bond film of some description. Since the late 1970s at least, you could half expect to see a Jimmy Bond film on Boxing Day or Christmas Day on ITV. Goff Richards’ medley reinforces this inevitability.
