They try the material out in their summer holidays and present what they have enjoyed playing most at their annual London concert on the May Bank Holiday. To give you a taste of the music on the programme here is a little film of their rehearsal week on Corsica in 2023: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOmBV2yUx3U
