After being pipped at the post the previous few years, we are so glad to announce that XLCR’s Solo Baritone Ross Moloney is the winner of the 2016 Colin Topp Slow Melody competition. Thoroughly deserved with a spellbinding rendition of Manhattan by Philip Sparke.

Special mentions to Soprano Cornet, Jaime Brown & Solo Euphonium Nigel John for their 2nd and 3rd places respectively.

Thanks to our adjudicator Trevor for an absolutely awesome evening of music making. Book it in your diaries now – SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18th (tentative date) will be the next Colin Topp Slow Melody competition – open to everyone.
