I WOULD like to say what a wonderful weekend I had recently at Pontins. It was a big band weekend and the bands were exceptional! With Andy Prior and his Orchestra and Todd Miller and The Joe Loss Orchestra it really was a treat. A special mention must go to the Lancashire Students Jazz Orchestra (and "training"orchestra) who are as talented and entertaining as the more well known orchestras. The duo who played during the breaks were excellent and, all in all, every credit must go to Neil Simpson who had the mammoth task of organising it. Thanks to everyone involved for a great time!
