Band strength

In a bid to strengthen the band ahead of its 'Areas' assault on 'Pentacle', the band have signed music student Jason Abbot on soprano cornet.

Jason is studying at the Salford University under the tuition of Howard Evans and Stuart Linguard and its hoped that his experience and musicianship will prove to be a vital asset to the band in the coming months.
