I was very impressed with the band when I played with them a while back (subbing for the sop player who was due to go away to a european youth band).
That trombone player he has is more than a bit special too isn't he!!
many thanks and all the best

Hi Brian
Ken Jones has a very fine band. They watch and listen, something that professional groups sometime fail to do. And yes, the trombonist was jaw dropping good. He played a flawless version of Czardas........where did he hide the valves
The band stopped those lunchtime New Yorkers in their tracks. I watched them sit down, turn off their cell phones and iPods, and listen to a live un-amplified brass band. The concert was held in Greeley Square, an oasis in Manhattan located in the shadow of the Empire State Building.
The kids were fabulous.
