Principal cornet Mark Wilkinson told 4BR: "The App gives the band another network on top of our Twitter, Facebook and web site to interact with our supporters and reach a wider audience."

The ‘App’ has been designed by the band’s technological guru and star soprano player Richard Poole, and is available to downloaded from i phones with ease.
