Musical magic

This is quite an odd book in a few ways. The story itself is quite fun, with the musical notes disappearing into space, and the band members setting off in pursuit, encountering a race of space monsters along the way. However, the characters aren't particularly appealing to children. They have the names of Northern England characters who MIGHT be in a brass band, but they are all identical-looking rather stern looking men with beards. The illustrations are fairly dull in parts.I think the story has been let down by the illustrations.
