Glasgow Wind Band was delighted to appear in Perth in 2026 as invited performers at the Scottish Concert Band Festival. Our programme featured Martin Dalby’s Plain Man’s Hammer, a vibrant and imaginative work originally written for the Dunbartonshire Wind Ensemble. Dalby conceived the piece as a spirited counterpart to Boulez’s Le Marteau sans maître, crafting music that celebrates the energy and enthusiasm of amateur musicians while still offering rich complexity and colour.
