Beaumaris for 4B!

Look out for the Welsh band! After their success at Blackpool in Feb 2004 they'll be well up for this one!!!

Gwent.

I thought that was every year.... I remember one year hearing a few people in the bar offering to move their band to wales just so they had a chance of winning! :wink:
