Its David O'Flynn! After a year spent travelling around the world Dave is back and playing with the band again. Look forward to seeing him on the bass trombone chair at our forthcoming gigs

Straight No Chaser performed with various vocalists at the Hove Town Hall on 26th January. A superb night with dancing all evening, and wonderful performances from the band. Also we raised over £8000 for The Martletts Hospice in Brighton during the evening!
