IN contrast to the description in your News In Brief column (December 13), Vintage Rhythms is not a singing group, but a dance band dedicated to playing 20th century dance music, which we did for the Arthritis Research Campaign.

We are a band of mainly retired musicians who like the old dance music and play for ourselves and events such as ARC. For more details we can be contacted at the address below, or on (01904) 690320.
