Bocchino CD wins top award |
|
Steven Mead's CD, 'Locomotion' has been given a prestigious award at the recent International Tuba Euphonium Festival in Denver, Colorado. It wins the inaugural 'BOBO Award', for recording excellence, presented by the tuba legend Roger Bobo, in the euphonium solo category.
The Locomotion CD, subtitled 'A Tribute to my Childhood', is on Steve's own label, Bocchino Music. It was recorded in the spring of 2005 in his home town of Bournemouth with Boscombe Salvation Army Band, and Bandmaster Howard Evans.
Steve writes: "It was such a pleasure to make this recording. It had been on my mind for years to do it, as my days growing up in Bournemouth were such happy ones and the memories of playing with Boscombe never go away. To get this international award for the disc is tremendous and unexpected. I know the Band and Howard Evans will be delighted too." |
