The band has a busy schedule whilst there. During their 10 day stay, they will play concerts at the Royal British Legion in Stanley and a further concert at the capital’s secondary school for the local population. They will also enjoy flying, a trip on a frigate, a Battlefield Tour and a Firepower Demonstration and hopefully a chance to see some of the wildlife..

The band has been busy recently headlining the arena displays at this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, as well as numerous regional engagements.
