The MP3 tracks above speak volumes of the versatility of these great musicians who through the years entertained us with their unique professional talent. A few years ago a CD entitled "The Capitol Showband, A collectors Item" was released. It is still available and enquiries as to purchase can be made by contacting the Website e-mail. It is well worth getting and ensures that the memory of this great Showband still lives on.
