Development Band

The Bradwell Development Band, conducted by Luke Colvin, showed the appreciative audience how they are improving by performing the old favourite ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ and the circus themed,‘Around the Circle’.

MD Brian Keech told 4BR: "The band gave an excellent concert to an appreciative audience. The six soloists were all in fine form and the event gave a fine start to the band’s engagement season."
