On Bank Holiday Monday 4th May we played at Thistle Park, Brimington (Chesterfield) for their family fun day, we had fun indeed with a very appreciate audience our repertoire was varied and good fun with some very lively pieces. Our grand finale was 'Reach' by S-Club7. Great fun with all the actions once again lead by Samantha. The band had a great time and so did the audience by the amount of applause we got.
