Personnel changes have been few over the years and this helps to give the band its cohesiveness. The band is also well known for its drive and the inclusion of some seldom heard tunes in the repertoire, along with some fine arrangements from Peter Wilkinson, the band’s trumpet player. The band continues to be popular for all kinds of functions throughout the UK including most of the major jazz venues and festivals.
