The band consists of eleven instrumentalists divided into three sections, brass, percussion, and reed.
Through it's many broadcasts it's winter season at Southport and summer season at Morecambe, and it's long association with Liverpool, the band has become a household name throughout the north of England.

Bill Gregsons band has been mentioned on here before, they were very popular in the late forties & had a regular show every Sunday afternoon at the Scala cinema in Kingsway, it started at 3 pm & included an amateur talent competition & a quiz in the interval, we as teenagers were there every week after closing time in the brick vaults,i believe Bill Gregson was chaiman at Skelmersdale football club for a while too.
