Granties Dixie Six, Friday 1st November 2019

This Friday, 1st November 2019 is to be Keith’s own band – GRANTIES DIXIE SIX – appearing here at our own FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB here in Kent.  My drumming man, KEITH GRANT is bringing you again a fabulous evening of swinging jazz. For this occasion, Keith has booked MALCOLME WALTON to play trumpet.  Malcolm played with the band back in July and what a super evening that was too. The rest of the guys will be tenor sax player JOHN LEE, trombonist BOB DWYER (Bob, as most of you know, also has a great voice), plus TIM HUSKISSON, playing piano, ROGER CURPHEY, playing double bass and I will be singing a couple of songs. As usual, get there for 8:00pm and £10’s-worth of great enjoyment. Your hosts Keith and Diane
