With two USA tours and a Disneyland Paris visit already under their belts in the last three years, Smithills Senior Band and MD Chris Wormald will once again return to France this week to perform at Disneyland Paris on American Independence Day.

Spectacular

Two years ago, Smithills gave four concerts at the venue and this weekend the Boltonians will give three further performances including a spectacular formal concert at 'The Dream Castle Hotel' on the 4th July.
