Why not put this band on here? After all I've been given a picture of us by Dawn Ayres (the tall one on clarinet), whom I have recently met again after all these years!

The trumpet player is Terry Burton, who still lives in Swindon and yes, I am standing on the floor at the back - I wasn't that tiny!
