Organisers are hoping the band’s third appearance will be as popular and profitable as the first two when it was a sell out.

Launched in the 1960s the Uptown Band, led by Joe Madden, was a very popular professional group playing throughout the country on the university circuit touring as “second band” to many of the leading names.

After a fallow period where members devoted time to their young families they got together again in the nineties to re-create some of their original pieces.

The show starts at 7-30pm and tickets are £10 including pie and pea supper. These can be obtained from Mim Mason on 01282 699571, Dorothy Bottomley, Joan Burrows and Beryl Nuttall.
