Saturday afternoons spent at Turf Moor...home for tea.. then back to Burnley "Mecca" listening and dancing to the excellent sounds of The Dennis Langfield Orchestra was a very memorable part of my youth. Thanks in part to watching this band helped my decision to become a professional musician for the following 20 years.
Such was my interest and enjoyment that to this day I can remember most musicians in the band,even though I never met them personally.
ALBERT WOOD.....Trombone/Saxes/Trumpet (just about anything playable) DON BAILEY....DRUMS DONALD GRINROD....Trumpet VIC BAGWELL......Sax.
DEREK.....!!! Piano
CHRISTINE SULLIVAN....Female Vocalist. Her version of LONG LIVE LOVE (Sandie Shaws hit) still remains etched in my mind after all these years..Excellent.
From a cool instrumental version of Yes! we have no Bananas !!! to the pop/standard vocals of Christine and Frankie made those Saturday evenings thoroughly enjoyable and truly memorable.

Oh My God, memories long forgotten. We used to go to the Locarno on Sunday and Monday night. Saw some good bands there. The Dennis Langfield Orchestra, God I had forgotten about them. I worked with Christine Sullivan at Lambert Howarth slipper works. Harry Feeney [The Rocking Vickers] worked there too.
