I'm sure you'll have a great time! We're looking forward to hearing you, we've heard good things!

Where are you stopping on the Saturday and Sunday whilst in Preston? I may try and pop in for a few beers. You're going to love the English Nationals, it's a great hall to listen in and the best bands are there to listen to.

If there was any way I could have an itinerary for your trip I'd be most grateful!

Nice to meet you lot yesterday, and well played!

A very different approach to brass band playing to most UK bands, and possibly the opposite to what we were expecting in many ways!

Interesting to hear a band with CC's and FF's as opposed to the usual BBb's and EEb's. Especially when all the other instruments were "correct"!

And definitely the most attractive EEb bass section I've ever seen!!
