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!
