It was great to take Dave Bremner up to Tonga again last month, and as it happened the timing meant that we were able to help many of the schools preparing for their competitions, which start today.
We'd like to wish all the schools involved the best of luck from the ABI Music team with your performances over the next few days!

Andrew and Bron are in Tonga again, and have been working with bands on the island of 'Eua.
They're back on the main island now, and Courtois and Besson artist David Bremner will be joining them for a few days for a series of workshops with the schools, and a big one tonight for all of the school and church conductors.
