A BAND is looking to recruit new players who are very loud.

And a love of Bolton Wanderers is another of the main requirements.

The playing venue is a little unusual - it is the South Stand of the Reebok Stadium.

Reebok Rhythm, the club's matchday band, is looking for new drummers for this season. The band was formed during Wanderers' second season in the Premiership in 1997.

John Astley, the junior programme manager who organises matchday entertainment, said: "We want someone who is outgoing and who can make a lot of noise.

"The band plays at all home matches. We have about 12 members, male and female. We provide the drums, which are African and marching band drums, and there is a training session about once a month."

Anyone wanting to apply needs to be over the age of 16 and have experience of playing instruments.

A recruitment evening takes place tomorrow, at the stadium, from 6.30pm to 8pm. For details, call the promotions department on 01204 673788.
