Most entertaining band - I think was Worsbrough
Correct, and Best Instrumentalist was Bb (?) Bass at Cawthorne. Fantastic day, really was. For a first time event to have at least 200 people at any given point from start to finish really proves how enjoyable event this was to be part off. Congrats to Rob and the team, hope to be back next year!
