Big Band Supper Concert

What can we say - yet again a capacity audience!!

The brilliant Big Band entertained on Saturday 21st October at Wantage Civic Centre, with wonderful guest singers Mark Haddock and Louisa Girton. Everyone enjoyed the swinging evening  and the dance floor was packed.  Looking forward to more next year, please.

Thanks to all who helped make the Concert so successful, Ron and helpers, Lucy and helpers, Ann, Eleanor and everyone else and, of course our special thanks to Phil and The Big Band and Mark and Louisa.
