< Previous Show | Featured Bands | Next Show > I am very pleased to advise that the Show staged on 20th January with Jay Craig and his Orchestra was a great success and very well received by all who attended. A rich and very varied selection of music for listening and dancing pleasure was presented which, from the survey carried out was very well received and left the audience wanting more. With top quality big bands on offer, in the wonderful surroundings and facilities of The Bedford Corn Exchange, it looks like the new Sunday Night Is Big Band Night venue will become established as the true home of the very best quality live Big Band music and dance around... Photos of the first show can be seen on this page (see below), and you can see and hear excerpts of the show as well, thanks to the wonders of YouTube (also below).
