Quality
Contest organiser, Gary Walczak told 4BR:"Obviously the organising committee are disappointed that we have not got a full entry.
However, the bands, as in past years, are fully prepared and the audience can look forward to hours of first class entertainment. We are very grateful to Blackpool Council who has continued to support the event in these difficult financial times."
Experienced judging duo
The judges for the competition will be the experienced duo of Jim Davies and Captain Dave Barringer. Jim will judge the music element whilst Dave will focus on the entertainment.
