Wilsden out of socks

The Wildsen Band better get to M&S for new socks its seeems after their latest concert success...

Wilsden
 

Wilsden Band's recent Spring Concert has been voted their 'Best Ever' by their estatic audience — with one delighted punter telling MD, Ken Lee — "You all played out of your socks."

Can — Can

The programme was a well thought out mixture of light easy listening music from famous marches to music from the shows and even the 'Can Can' courtesy of the band's duo of mock French Moulin Rouge percussionists, Bob & Tom.

Thrilled

4BR has been informed by the band that one comment overheard from the audience was that the village was thrilled to have a band like this.

It seems Wilsden are keeping their local punters happy then...
