Recording the Band's 1st CD

The Band's first CD was recorded April 2002 at Hugglescote Church, Hugglescote, Leicestershire, by B&H Sound Services Ltd.

The normal line-up was supplemented by the following guest players, all of whom the band would like to extend their thanks to:

Jo Eyre, who played Solo Cornet.
Stuart Morgan and Roman Galaska, who between them covered an empty 3rd Cornet chair.
Andy Platt who played Repiano Cornet.
Rodney White who assisted our percussion team.

In particular we would like to say a special thank you to Rodney, who flew over from Ireland just to do the recording with us.

Brian Hillson, MD of B&H Sound, with MD, Paul Northey.

This photo was taken toward the end of the second day of recording when everyone was getting very tired. Brian, however, was still as cheerful as he was when we first met him on the Friday evening.
