Andrew Duncan, SBBA's Development Manager commented "We are extremely honored that Professor Wallace will be attending this year's conference and I have no doubt that his presentation will offer much food for thought for us all. Coupling his broad musical knowledge and experience with his brass band background makes him an ideal keynote speaker for the event, so we are very much looking forward to his sharing of ideas and observations."
In addition to Professor Wallace's featured presentation, this year's event looks set to offer a wide variety of further informative sessions to update all attendees on SBBA's activities and plans.
