Well-known for its exciting blend of big band sounds and classic dance music, Duncan will lead the orchestra in a programme ranging from the wartime million sellers of legendary Glenn Miller and classic arrangements of many of the great bandleaders of the period such as Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, Ted Heath, Stan Kenton, Johnny Dankworth and many others.
* Duncan Macfarlane, Queen Katherine School (Upper School Hall), Kendal, Thursday, February 11. 7.30pm. Tickets are available from the school on 01539-773640.
