Broadstairs - 9th May
Message from a member of the audience
Dear Ms Bleach,
Today, I listened to the band playing at Broadstairs. I thought they were superb.
I attend most of the band concerts at Broadstairs Bandstand during the summer and Crystal Palace Band must be the best.
And, It was good to see a lady percussionist, as well as the one with the personality. Also such good soloists. Thank you very much all members of this band, Sincerely,, Name and Address Supplied
