The Royal Air Force have got
And I know that,
tell me, tell me that the Royal Air Force
you know, if I don't play those two pieces
tell me on the way out as they're saying,
The likes of the big band
a little bit of Glenn Miller,
And those are sort of, that's music that's
The Battle of Britain March,
You know, these are charts
So no matter what I would programme
of on parade,
you know, very famous,
your audience will leave very happy.

that musical satisfaction
And if you get a nice mix of that,

Royal Air Force music the musicians are
They love to be challenged as well.
So it's a fine balance of playing
repertoire that everybody wants to hear.
But there's plenty
