The quality of the music was extremely high as the band throughout the evening  performed many of the old standards: ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, ‘Tuxedo Junction’, ‘Moon River’ and many more. On a number of occasions the dancefloor was packed with parents, friends, relatives and supporters  dancing the night away.  In all it was a great evening, a wonderful experience for our musicians and  it raised just over £2,000 for the charity – well done to all who performed and helped make the evening such a great success.
