Thanks to The Gordon Campbell All Star Big Band - some of the finest professional musicians in the UK - Sunday evening 16th March at The Bedford Corn Exchange was a complete success in every way. Photographs of the show can be seen below.

Gordon's legendary trombone abilities along with his easy and engaging Band leader style provided an evening of humour and musical excellence.

The Band and superb singer Atillah Husseyin, held the audience spell bound for the whole evening bringing us a wonderfully mixed programme of Tommy Dorsey and swing dance music to be remembered. Increased audience numbers proves that the good name of the club is spreading and our reputation for presenting only the Best Big Band music is growing. Tell a friend and spread the word!

The evening was made all the more special by the very welcome visit of Sheila Tracy. With a wealth of experience, her words of guidance and encouragement were greatly appreciated and I hope we will see her back with us again very soon. A great night was had by ALL!

SUNDAY NIGHT IS BIG BAND NIGHT at The Bedford Corn Exchange has and will continue to prove itself as the premier Big Band music and dance venue in the UK.

Book your tickets for the next event without delay - 27th April 08 The Colin Skinner Big Band - Skin Deep. See you there!
