Edith Bowman sits in with a Thursday Theme: brass!

Edith Bowman sits in, and her Thursday Theme is all things brass! In honour of the BBC Proms, she wants to hear your favourite songs with horns!

Next week, Radio 2 will be bringing you performances from the BBC Proms including the Prog Rock Prom, the Black Dyke Band, The Songs of Paul Simon’s Graceland and a celebration of Marvin Gaye!

So to celebrate all things prommy and orchestral, this week’s Thursday Theme is all about Edith's favourite section of the Orchestra: BRASS! She want to hear your favourite songs with French horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas and more.

Send in your BRASS song suggestions - email edith.bowman@bbc.co.uk.
