Team Brassbanned will be back working with the Royal New Zealand Pipe Band Association, bringing you the broadcast of the 2023 New Zealand Pipe Band Championships from Christchuch.
We have been lucky to work closely with the Association’s livestreaming team in the lead-up to the contest, making sure we can elevate coverage to a new benchmark in quality. Loyal viewers – you absolutley do not want to miss this!
Catch all the action live this Friday and Saturday – join us for expert commentary, behind the scenes interviews, explainer videos (for those very few people out there who don’t already know they love pipe bands) – and of course great musical action!
