Great thing

Band Manager Hanspeter Adank told 4BR: "The great thing about Wallberg is the genuine friendship built up between the players every year. We will welcome the new players and Garry as MD with open arms and look forward to giving a good performance of the set test 'Blitz' and our own choice which is obviously top secret at the moment."
