Thanks

Marcus Dunstan from the band told 4BR: "We take this opportunity to sincerely thank Jeremy for his contribution to the band, especially for his contest preparations and many concerts at variety of venues across Cornwall."

In the meantime, Kevin MacKenzie has been appointed to prepare the band for the Spring Festival at Blackpool, whilst the band's Professional Musical Advisor, Frank Renton, will be returning to Cornwall to rehearse the test piece which is "An Epic Symphony" by Percy Fletcher.
