Remember, if you know you’re going to be away from a rehearsal or a gig, make sure the conductor, whether it be Brian or Paul, knows - contact them via another band member, or by using the details on the right.

 

Always remember to polish your instruments before a gig; you’d be surprised what a few minutes with a cleaning cloth can achieve!

Always arrive at least half an hour before a gig starts; usually, there will be a defined report time, but if not, go by the half-hour standard. This gives time for everyone to show up, and allows us to work around any complications, should there be any.

Finally, if you know someone that wants to join the band, let them know - we don’t bite, and we’re always happy to welcome new members!
