Hi. I am currently the director/conductor for the 3 Counties Swing Band, an amateur swing band based near Axminster in Dorset. We meet most Wendesday evenings, and play for the fun of it, though we do get regular gigs. Our band consists of all age ranges, from school age up to 80 year olds! Well, myself, the bass guitarist, rhythm guitarist and a trumpet player are planning to leave after our next gig at the end of March 2004. So if anyone local would be interested, please feel free to contact me at info@ryerson-sound.com. In fact, even if you're not one of the above, but like playing swing music, you'd be made more than welcome! Barry Ryerson
