Review of concert at Halls for Cornwall
SOLD OUT!

The Musical Director was Paul Barry, a handsome and pleasant mannered man who wrote and presented the program using some well known extracts from the Glenn Miller Story, and the rest from his own knowledge of Glenn Miller history. Throughout the program, he gave us information about Glenn's life and career, as well as history about the tunes the band played, and the members who played those tunes in the original Glenn Miller bands.

We now take you to Paris for a special program. As many of you may know, Major Glenn Miller is not with us this evening but, in his absence we will perform this live radio broadcast exactly as he had planned it. Our first number therefore will be ....

As the curtain raised, what we saw was a professional looking band who were dedicated to perform their best, and we were quite frankly thrilled and a little spooked as the hairs on the back of our necks raised to this quite emotional start to the concert.

The band sounded really good and very close to the original Glenn Miller band. I have never been so satisfied with a concert before because this, from a Glenn Miller fan point of view, was a Glenn Miller Story presentation.
