I WAS disappointed to read the account of the Bolton lights switch-on in The Bolton News on November 24, which reported that the event started at 4pm.

The event actually started at 3pm, with two brilliant bands who played in the freezing horizontal rain and got not so much as a mention in the paper.

I believe both bands are from Bolton and must have taken a lot of effort in their appearance and performance.

So, come on The Bolton News, give credit where credit is due.

The bands were Rene and A Foreign Town — give them a mention.
