Of the many brass bands that have flourished in Britain and Ireland over the last 200 years very few have documented records covering their history. This directory is an attempt to collect together information about such bands and make it available to all. Over 19,600 bands are recorded here, with some 10,600 additional cross references for alternative or previous names. This volume supersedes the earlier “British Brass Bands – a Historical Directory” (2016) and includes some 1,400 bands from the island of Ireland.

Intetanende går Pauls Hjelms eks-kone ind i en bank i Stockholm for at klare et par ærinder. Det er optakten til et besynderligt hændelsesforløb, der består af et voldsomt gidseldrama, et mystisk skrivebord fra 1700-tallet og et antal fossiler og leder direkte ind i en af 2. Verdenskrigs centrale begivenheder og de dønninger, den sender videre til Den Kolde Krig. Alting sker, fordi en enkelt mand vil ændre fortiden. Paul Hjelm, Kerstin Holm, Arto Söderstedt og de andre fra Rigskriminalpolitiets specialenhed for voldskriminalitet med internationale aspekter står til at begynde med over for en gåde, der er lige så håndgribelig som flygtig: Hvad er det, der ikke stemmer ved det gidseldrama i banken? DØDSMESSE, syvende bind i Arne Dahls mesterlige spændingsserie om A-gruppen, dykker dybt ned i det 20. århundredes allermørkeste hjørner.
