Excellent players

Jamie told 4BR: "I'd like to welcome all six new recruits. We've got a packed autumn schedule having just come off the back of a solid runner-up spot at the Pogson Bray contest and with the Rochdale and Leicester contests on the horizon.

It's great to work with some new faces who will add to the excellent players that the band already has."
