Adam on drums, The Larteys on the usual bits, and Steve Norman from Spandau Ballet on Sax - sounds good to me!

Steve in his diary says that there were 8 in total at rehearsal SH RG JL LA BW 2 Larteys who is the 8th Was Adam Houghton there as Steve tals about a percussionist is there going to be a percussionist as well as a drummer RAchel can you please confirm?

Cant we just wait and see.....maybe Steve and the team just dont know yet..... Give the guy some slack..... chill...
sorry .... its just been one of those days today....

From Steve's latest diary entry

" And the percussion was missing mostly. Ashleigh shook things and keeps perfect time, but we will have a full-time percussionist on the night, and that might actually be Mr Norman, whose first instrument was drums, before he ever picked up a sax."

I expect Stuart Elliott will be on percussion.

And probably at least one in the orchestra.

So the Lartey Sisters will be joining Steve, the band and the orchestra and choir in Birmingham. Could I politely request that Ashleigh and Faye are reminded to dress appropriately in long black skirts and high-necked ruffled blouses in keeping with the surroundings.
