Pursuit

MD, Paul Holland told 4BR: "The band is going through a period of rapid change in the pursuit of high class musical performances on the concert and contest platform. Naturally this brings the inevitable movement of players to, from and within the organisation

I'm thankful to all those who have recently moved on from the band but delighted to have secured many talented new players in their place.

After a short summer break we are looking forward to working hard towards the British Open."
