Back Home

After much hard work by members of the band past and present we're delighted to be back in the Besses bandroom on Moss Lane. There's still plenty of jobs to keep us busy including recataloging the extensive library, but it's great to be back. A special thanks to our Chairman Barrie Chappell, Gordon Hardman, Andy Tasker, Tony Condron and solo horn player Nick Guzman for the many many hours they've put in!
