Two of our longest serving and most respected members, Trevor Emeny and Harold Griffiths, have recently retired from the band.  We wish them both well and will miss them !

We welcome Matthew Morris and Andy Loveridge who join the Sax section.

Matthew has appeared on the London jazz scene, toured with many big name artists, the Glenn Miller Orchestra (Europe) and recorded with ‘SLAM’ records.

Andy has recently returned from a 4 year engagement as Musical director on Caribbean Cruise liners.
