With reference to guitar and bass, I attended a very good concert by
Redbridge Brass and Goff Richards about three years back which used a
bass and suggested to Black Dyke that they might consider the use of a
bass guitar in their big band music. I also suggested they might create
a trend by using a female volcalist in their (say) big band arrangements
where approapriate; afterall they broke the all-male tradition when
Linda Nicholson and Helen Fox played with them.
