Camborne win Royal Trophy
The sun shone and the sun shone and the sun shone some more and there was a real ‘feelgood’ factor at our 90th annual contest today. Crowds flocked to Molinnis Park and all was well with the brass band community of Cornwall and beyond as 30 bands thrilled the spectators with a wonderful day of music making.
Top honours and the Royal Trophy went to Camborne for their rendition of ‘Connotations’. It was the 37th time that they have come out on top at our event.They were returning to Bugle after a two year absence.
