Polite refusal

Both politely refused any 4BR request to reveal their ages, but would say that they did join as very, very young girls!

To mark the occasion Trinity Girls are holding an evening of celebration and music with a 3 course dinner including guest speaker Richard Evans in April, where Diane and Denise will be guests of honour.

Friends

Any old members or friends of the band wishing to share the evening with them would be most welcome and further details can be sought at tgbb@live.co.uk.

In the meanwhile, both girls (and they are still young girls at heart!) are enjoying their playing more than ever.
