Looking forward

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We were introduced to Les by chance last year, when our conductor became unwell on the night of a concert. Les, who was actually there to help out as a player, kindly agreed to take the baton for the evening.

We are now looking forward to working together to get Glossop Band back where it belongs."
