Speaking about the new additions, Musical Director, David W Ashworth told A4B: ‘I am very pleased and excited to announce these new signings. It is good to know that the band is still able to attract such quality players. I am convinced that every one of them will have a very enjoyable time with the band. At their first rehearsal, last evening, it was obvious, the difference that they will make to the band in a very short time, I am a very happy MD’.
