Alvin Jones Band - 22/03/2008 |
We guarantee you will have a fun evening and we promise to:-
a) Play music appropriate to the audience/occasion
b) Keep the dancers on the dance floor
c) Not play too loudly We don’t have a demo CD, first of all because 95% of our bookings come from recommendations and secondly because we believe there is absolutely no substitute for seeing us live. For booking enquiries or to arrange to see us live, send an email to alvin.jones.band@homecall.co.uk or call Mark on 01702 474205 or 07771 928886
