Well I’ve finally managed to put fingers to keyboard and write something on the blog page, please feel free to join in whenever you like.

It’s been another hugely successful Blackpool Dance Festival and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I consider myself very fortunate to able to stand in front of such a magnificent orchestra, listening to some great music and watching some of the world’s best dancers battle it out from the best seat in the house.

The orchestra’s music has once again received some wonderful comments from judges, competitors and spectators alike and I would like to thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts with the members of the orchestra and myself. It really does make a difference!

The new album ‘Always & Forever’ has been a huge hit with Ballroom and Latin dancers as well as members of the general public and I would like to thank all that have bought a copy of the CD, I hope it brings you years of happiness.

Best wishes,

I just wanted to let everyone know that Malcolm Laycock from BBC Radio 2 will be playing a few tracks from the new Empress Orchestra album ‘Always & Forever’ on his show between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Sunday 28 June.

As the BBC stopped playing music from the dance bands back in January of this year it represents quite an honour for us to be featured on the programme and hopefully you’ll have the time to tune in and hear what Malcolm thinks of the first album by the Empress Orchestra.

If you would like a copy of our album for yourself or someone you know, then please click on Buy CDs from the above menu to link to the DSI web site; it’s a cracking album and I know you’ll love it.

Best wishes,

Ashley Frohlick
