Wedding Music - a quotation:  Wantage   

A sample of what has been written about wedding music groups-

From this did Paganini comb the fierce; Electric sparks, or to tenuity; Pull forth the inmost wailing of the wire; No cat-gut could swoon out so much of soul! Robert Browning (18 12—89) Red Cotton Night-Cap Country, 1892
