Looking forward

James told 4BR: "I'm looking forward to the next few months. The band is working very hard and I'm very excited about our future contests and concerts. I would also like to congratulate Rebecca Maxwell on gaining a place at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music and Andrew Leeming who has gained a place a Chetham's School of Music."
