The Worth Valley Hot 7
The Worth Valley Hot 7 is a regeneration of the Worth Valley Stompers that was formed in 2008. The only 2 original band members are Ruth Gardziel - Vocals and Mark Croasdale - Trumpet, both from West Yorkshire. The other band members include Dave Hepworth - Reeds Andy Bramhall - Banjo both of the Washington Whirly Gigs from South Yorkshire. Richard Slater aka (Billy Bedlam) - Trombone, from Greater Manchester. Jonny Clapham - Double Bass, from West Yorkshire Keith Daniels aka (Danny Barcelona) or
