Thanks Will, always nice to receive praise from fellow composers and arrangers. And for anyone that has spotted the deliberate mistake in that write-up, I believe Pennine have contacted the admin team about getting that changed (as I’m sure the Battle Of Britain was more than 40 years ago :-? )

Hi Lizzie, Can i just say a "well done" to everyone thats put to and helped to organise this event. Being a CF sufferer myself, its nice to hear about this sort of thing going on. Thanks, and hope the concert goes well!

Aidan mate I did mention they were a YOUNG band didnt I? ;-) I can just see them now trying to play it, and of course march down the road at 160bpm :-D

Loads of snow here in Sheffield (well, north Sheffield anyway!) Got to drive to Mansfield in the morning tho, so hoping its gone by 7am!!!!
