Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions for the band family. In the afternoon over 20 band members from the 1980s along with current band staff attended the funeral of former band member Claire Piercy nee Chandley. Deeply saddened to loose someone who as her husband said with great dignity , had only had the chance to live half a life. Taken far too soon .

Congratulations and well done to everyone who helped last night. ... See MoreSee Less
