A Special Place was composed and dedicated to 'The Children's Hospice South West' - a charity founded to aid children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and to give support to their families. The original version for brass band has helped to raise funds for this good cause, and the Bristol Concert Wind Band Associations, with the same aims, commissioned this wind band edition. The melody and arrangement is Goff Richards at his best and is a real audience winner.
