First aired on September 7, 1980, the opening piece to feature on the programme was Prelude for an Occasion by Edward Gregson.[2]
Time for Brass features music from various brass bands ranging from early recordings to contemporary Brass Band Music. Also included on the playlist are recordings by Manx bands such as the Onchan Silver Band and Rushen Silver Band.[3]
The programme is transmitted on the station's 9:00pm – 10:00pm slot on Monday nights and is broadcast on FM and MW frequencies as well as world wide through the Manx Radio website.
