The North West outfit under MD Chris Wormald will link up with World of Brass Recordings the renowned recording specialist Richard Scott, who produced the band's successful 'From Sinatra to Wicked' CD last year.

The festive offering will feature a host of brand new arrangements made by Chris and bass trombonist Declan Cullen, a former Smithills School and Huddersfield University student.
