Dennis Rollins was commissioned to write new music and direct the band and briefed to “bring joy to the people of Derby”.

The ten other members of the band: two trumpets, two trombones, three saxophones a sousaphone and two drummers have between them toured in; The Specials, The Beautiful South, circus bands, and directed the Matthew Herbert Big Band in the worlds leading concert halls.
