Brighouse & Rastrick Band is still receiving plaudits from around the world following their recent appearance on the popular BBC One 'The One Show' (above) where they helped pay a musical tribute to the late broadcaster Terry Wogan.

6 million

An audience of over 6 million viewers tuned in on the night as under the baton of Derek Broadbent, the band brought the show to a close performing 'The Floral Dance'.

Brilliant response

Spokesperson Ryan Watkins told 4BR: "Even at such short notice the players responded brilliantly to get to London for what was a very special programme for the BBC."

As they arrived the players were asked to perform for extensive camera and light checks, before being shuffled into the studio for a quick dose of make up!

The band is proud to have paid tribute to Sir Terry Wogan. He gave us the opportunity for stardom back in 1977 and we remain successful to this day because of himBrighouse & Rastrick Band
