Mardi Gras JazzBand, Friday, 27th April 2018

Rob Pearce of Mardi Gras JazzBand  seen here at Farnborough Jazz Club taken at Diane’s birthday party 12jan2018 by Mike Witt.

Super band leader, ROB PEARCE, who plays trombone, often visits New Orleans, so he just ‘lives’ his music.  Oh, by the way, he just recently got married too (just before Keith and I) to a beautiful young lady (Liz) who often joins him here at our FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB.  Tonight, 27th APRIL 2018, Rob’s super band will be LEIGH HENSON on trumpet, plus  JOHN ELLMER on his many reeds, JOHN STEWART on banjo & guitar, STEVE SMITH on bass and PAUL BAKER on drums. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight to dance the night away.

Your hosts – the Granties 

P.S.  I shall return tomorrow to update this photo.
