To be able to attract one quality player is good news for any band, but to have three all arrive at once is fantasticDavid Johnson

Thanks

Spokesperson David Johnson told 4BR: "I'd like to thank Eddie for all his year’s service. He has been a fantastic asset to the band and he will be missed."

He added: "To be able to attract one quality player is good news for any band, but to have three all arrive at once is fantastic. I’m sure that they can assist us as we build on our solid placing at the North West Regional contest."
