WCB Recordings

2008 Recording


The band's latest CD, "A Werneth Celebration" was released in December 2008, just a month after the recordings were completed. It commemorates the band's 25th anniversary and it's available from the Secretary for £10 - or grab a copy at one of our concerts. The sleeve notes are very nicely produced and contain a history of the band as well as pictures from our 25-year history. This album features more tracks than ever before, and also includes recordings by the newly-formed Werneth Swing Band. You can sample the various recordings here:
