The Whole Shebang (with Mo, Brian, Wullie & Tony)

<p>The Whole Shebang is a bit experimental - we wanted to have a forum where a panel could talk about anything they wanted including the hot topics of the time, so this is our first run at it.</p><p>A panel consisting of co-host Maurice Brown, Brian Higginson, Tony Taylor & Wullie Urban, all ex-servicemen with a connection to bands and corps of drums and with something to share.</p><p>We talk about bands and the need to engage more with funding opportunities, we look at the impact serving in the army has had on their lives and their outlook on Northern Ireland, we talk a bit about Brexit and touch on the NI Protocol as well.</p><p>For a first attempt it went pretty well and there was some good conversation had.</p><p>We are thinking about creating a second show called "The Whole Shebang" were we can invite lots of different people on to talk about things of interest to bands and the wider unionist and loyalist community as well.</p><p>Let us know what you think and if you would want to be involved in another one of these episodes then please get in touch with us and we can get it set up.</p><p>Our next and final bonus episode will feature Gareth Mulvenna talking about his book "Tartan Gangs" so look out for that one really soon.</p>
