A Joint Production

Our Kind of Music was an idea by Mike Crofts to raise funds for Wolverton Gilbert and Sullivan Society. Two of the groups he leads, Wolverton Light Orchestra and Secklow Brass generously played for nothing. All the profits from the show came to us.
We were hugely grateful for this generous gesture.
