Richard Niles led the 19-piece BANDZILLA in the late 1980s through the '90s. They were featured on comedian Ruby Wax's 1st TV series on C4 "Don't Miss Wax". Niles arranged the No. 1 hit "Breakout" for Swing Out Sister and performed his big-band version for BANDZILLA on the show, featuring a solo by the acclaimed trumpet player Guy Barker. Wax attempts a joke at Niles' expense but is thwarted by an indignant Swing Out Sister in the audience!
well, I know the alto sax soloist is the great Andy MacIntosh!

Great band and Wax's attempts at having a joke at them rightly fell on it's arse. What's the personnel, do you know?
