David Last, the founder of the former RBL Concert Band, was dined out by band members and guests at Semana 8 Chinese Restaurant, in Playa Flamenca, last Thursday night.

Davis resigned from the band 3 months ago after what he called ‘unacceptable interference and pressure by the District Committee’. He has since gone on to form a clarinet quartet and a string trio.

David and his wife Chris, were joined by almost 30 friends and colleagues, some of whom had flown from UK, especially to attend the event. He was presented with a commemorative shield and a mug while Chris received a colourful bouquet of flowers.
