Eagley look good on the musical menu

The Eagley Band's new waterproof jackets were put to the test on their debuts at the Bolton Food Festival

  Eagley's players were snug and dry as they performed on stage

The Eagley Band recently showed off their latest leisure attire at the popular Bolton Food Festival.

Kitted out in their smart waterproof jackets and band coats, the band looked and sounded the part alongside television chefs such as James Martin, Nadiya Hussain and Ainsley Harriott.

Snug and dry

The jackets are sponsored by Bolton Security firm Automatic Alarms Limited, and with the weather taking an unseasonal turn for the worse, the band under MD Chris Wormald was delighted that they were able to perform snug and dry on the stage to an appreciative audience.
