Jericho’s Harvest: A Short History of Brass Bands as a Voice for Political Opposition in Europe
Gregg Moore
​
This chapter provides a short history of brass bands in social justice movements in Western Europe.  After a few early examples, three post-WWII waves emanating from Britain, Germany, and Holland are discussed along with their historical and social contexts. Some of the seminal musicians that promoted brass bands as a viable force in protest are discussed.   

Gregg Moore was introduced to the joys of community music during 30 years spent in Europe, with ten of those years as musical director for Fanfare v.d. Eerste Liefdesnacht. He founded Available Jelly and spent six years as a trombonist with the Willem Breuker Kollektief. He helped kickstart a vibrant street band culture in Portugal.
