Might I have a go at one of your questions? I think that it's Gerry Lynch who played trombone in the band then left for Canada.

Morning everyone,

Here's one for you. Not TOO difficult for 'Yule-Tired; brains.

Name the former showband musician who swapped his bass guitar for a crystal ball ?

Happy new year.
