I AM writing regarding your article (May 14) about the Georgina Bromilow Big Band which played at the Longfield Suite, Prestwich, on June 10.

I decided to go along and have a listen and what a night it was. Georgina and the band were in full swing, playing tunes from the 1940s and 1950s with each tune tempting dancers to the dance floor. It was great to see people once again dancing to the sound of a big band.

It was a nostalgic night with people remembering the days of the big dance bands and much talk of the local dance halls that used to be. Georgina and the band will be playing again at the Longfield Suite on July 1 and, hopefully, there will be many more similar nights to come.

I would like to thank them for an excellent night of music played in true "big band" style.
