BRASS BAND AND THE DOORSTEP CHOIR MP3s:
The carols were recorded by BBC Radio Shropshire in November (and the rain held off!) with the Shrewsbury Brass Band and the 'Doorstep Choir' many of who started the whole Doorstep Carols idea rolling during lockdown 2020 - these recordings are available RIGHT HERE if you prefer to accompany your own carol concert with brass band and/or singers instead of piano. Thanks to Paul, Tim and the rest of the BBC team for helping to make this material available to YOU.
