I am all in favour of a decent band to play GOSBTS for the first game and much as I love military bands I wouldnt want it every week other than on the big screen when the teams come out. I would prefer a mix of types of music different every game to reach all tastes some classical , some pop even a local choir and or individual singers. Obviously a lot will depend on the accoustics but if pop stars can perform at the old Wembley I am sure it would be possible at The Amex especially if pre advertised.
I think it would be an ideal opportunity to give some exposure to local talent of all types as it will probably only last for about 30 minutes ie 2.15 to 2.45 when the PA will take over on the build up to the game..
SLADE with Noddy Holder out of retirement singing ' GIVE US A GOAL' just as they did at the Goldstone all those years ago - Loud as Hell !! for the uninitiated - see youtube
