Kneller Hall in London is throwing its doors open to trombonists for a very grand BTS day this autumn. The 17th century stately home based in Twickenham is now home to the Royal Military School of Music, but on 17 October, trombonists are invited to battle it out in a quartet competition and to hear a concert by the Army Big Band, compered by Sheila Tracy amongst other activities.
