Masters announce line up of bands

Masters attracts large field of international entrants to new venue — but not the defending champion.

Lighthouse
 

Richard Franklin and Philip Biggs have announced the line-up of bands for the 2010 All England Masters International Championship, which takes place on Sunday 30th May at the Lighthouse Theatre, Kettering.

Attracted

Although reigning champion Foden’s will not be defending their title this year, interest will surely surround the news that the competition has attracted 8 times Norwegian champion Stavanger as well as former multiple Danish champion Lyngby Taarbaek.
