Are the scores for Yorkshire Co-op and Jackfield correct as if they are the scores, then surely Yorkshire Coop came 6th and Jackfield 7th? I don't want to take anything away from Jackfield (My band!) but if Co-op beat them it should be updated! Please feel free to correct me if I've made a...

Hey Nikki James P from Telford here. Hope all is well in the Aulton Household. Just a thought but was in a Pawn Shop (Yes, I have spelt that correctly!) in Telford last week and they've got a 2nd hand Yamaha YCR-2330II, retail at about £350 brand new. It looks in immaculate condition although...

Or string to her cap! He, he, he... Sorry, I'm not helping!

Super news. Telford has long needed a municipal youth band setup. Congrats to both you and Dai. James

Hi there, I played an a Shilke for about 6 years and it was superb. Great valves, good intonation, although I'm sure some of my collegues might have disagreed! Fine in upper register, good brass band sound when played with right mouthpiece. I've got a mate, Andy Jennings, who swears by his...

Jackfield Band is not too far from you! They are Shropshire's only Championship section band. A really friendly lot who love the social side as much as the musical side of it all. I believe there is a 1st horn seat there at the moment. They will be very welcoming and look after you well. Please...

Thanks for your response guys. I'm a little confused now though because I actually did the sensible thing and look at the CD and it said arr. Heywood?! Anyone shed any light?!! I'm easily confused I must admit! James

Hi Guys I'm hoping somebody can answer this one with ease. I'm looking for a new solo to play with my band and thought I would get summertime, a la Pete Roberts off his fantastic CD Legend. But struggling to find it on the web etc. I can find a horn arrangement but can't find the sop one...

Hi John, good to hear your in the business of banding once more! I play for Jackfield Elcock Reisen Band in Telford, so only 20 minutes from Wolvo. We are currently in the Top section in the Midlands. We do 5 or 6 contests a year and lots of various types of concerts for many charities and...

It's my fault, I didn't read Back Row's post properly and didn't notice his errors when he referred to it as Voyage to the Centre of the Earth! I was thinking of Journey to the Centre of the Earth and the top section. Thanks anyway and sorry! James

does it need a vibraphone then? James

We are looking to buy a hard case for a Besson Sovereign Bb Bass. Please contact me if you have any ideas. Many thanks in advance James Pearson Jackfield Elcock Reisen Band
