The concert by Borders Big Band was a tremendous success. In the first half, the band showed its skill by playing a range of numbers from the great bands of the 30s and 40s. The soloists in particular were highly acclaimed by the near sell out audience. In the interval, stovies were served thanks to Gary Moore and the second half started off with American Patrol, originally made famous by the Glenn Miller Band. This part continued with more well known pieces which got many of the audience onto the dance floor!
Proceeds will go to local charities including the Lavender Touch .
