Two Minutes, Mr Smith and Four Seconds: Morely Smith and Gerry Gosling have been playing together for a number of years as "Two Minutes Mr. Smith" and in February 1985 expanded the band to include female backing vocals and additional instrumentalists.  Their music is Rythm and Blues and 60's and above all they like to be themselves, enjoy their music and be entertaining.

Gary Hayman and Friends: Gary is a former member of The RAF Central Band and RAF Far East Band.  He is an accomplished pianist, a former Director of Music for Mecca who now teaches and composes.  Gary has put this group together just for this occasion.  They include: Dave Andre on Tenor Sax, Bob le Quelenec drums, Mel McCauley Synth and Brian Hamilton on Bass.
