Hopefully the version used at the contest will be the same as that 
used at the Masters in 1994 or quite a number of bands will have to 
fork out for a new set.
I have two possible solutions. 
1.  Dyke recorded a 'manuscript' version of Montage with differences. 
 BBS recorded ' A new Jerusalem' from manuscript before it was used 
at the nationals and in places the piece is unrecognisable, with 
extra passages all over the place.
2.  Dyke couldn't play the proper notes/runs - too hard - and so they 
just played anything.

I think that option 1 is definately more likely, but you never know 
!!

(only joking Les and Dyke fans world-wide)

Mischievously,

Phil Green.

Fodens (Courtois) Band.
