Growing stature

Event organiser Carole Crompton told 4BR: "The growing stature and success of the event has been reflected in the demand for places. We have accommodated 48 bands in the six sections from Championship to Unregistered, and have been delighted by the response.

We can now only accept entries from bands to be placed on a waiting list. If any band drops out they will then replace them."
