A Werneth Celebration (2008)

The band's most recent CD, "A Werneth Celebration" was released in December 2008, just a month after the recordings were completed. It commemorates the band's 25th anniversary and it's available from the Secretary for £10 - or grab a copy at one of our concerts. The sleeve notes are very nicely produced and contain a history of the band as well as pictures from the our 25 years up to that point. This album features more tracks than ever before, and also includes recordings by the then-newly-formed Werneth Swing Band.
