He now plays every Thursday in Wakefield. I cant remember the name of the venue but will post it when it comes back to me. Thank you, I'd appreciate that. I wonder who's left in the band now....trish

Hi Dalehelms,I'm surprised to hear that Ed O'Donnell is still blowing his trombone.If he's the same Ed I knew he would be in his late 70's by now.CopyaAndy

It surely is the same bloke.....same horn, same tunes, same pony tail, same great band, albeit with a few changes in the line-up. I still haven't got the venue but will phone my mate who has listened to him weekly for nigh on 40+ years....In my opinion, he's as good as he ever was.He will be delighted to learn of his SL fame which should happen on Thursday!

Tis not! I'll need to wait till she comes back from camping in Cornwall to see if it's ok to post her name.
