Rothwell enjoy day at the races

Grand Shield champion enjoys a great day out at Ascot racecourse...

Rothwell
 

Grand Shield Champion Rothwell Temperance has just enjoyed a great day at the races, which also saw the band featured on Channel 4's 'Racing Programme'.

Champions

The Yorkshire band, under MD David Roberts, performed the aptly titled 'We are the Champions' for the opening of the live show from the QIPCO British Champions event at Ascot racecourse, where they had been engaged to perform by events company Mode for...Events at the richest day in British horse racing calendar.

Performing prior to the after-party headlining Paloma Faith, Rothwell impressed the packed crowds with their showcase performances throughout the day.

We send a huge thank you to the musicians that played and our team that organised proceedings on the day."
