BRASS - Durham International Festival is a creative arts and music festival running in and around Durham City 5 - 20 July 2008. Following the success of BRASS 07 and still attracting a diverse roster of musicians and artists, this site exists to showcase the alternative sound and soul the event and to encourage debate and participation from our friends.
Most of all, we want to learn - if you are or know of someone we should speak to, or you or your organisation want to be involved, please contact us. Spread the word and get involved!
In addition to the headline events we will be running a festival fringe in a range of venues across County Durham. If you're involved with music promotion in the North East of England and would like to work with us on the festival fringe we would love to hear from you...Please contact us through myspace or at [email protected]
