We have a great band for you – the NEW ORLEANS Z’HULUS from Belgium playing for us tomorrow night, Friday, 16th June 2017. Their last appearance here at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB (Kent) was two years ago, so make the most of this visit, because we may have to wait a long time again for their next visit.  As you can see and as I said last time, this band has a wonderful International flavor, (a couple of changes from last time).  We have trumpeter DAN VERCRUYSSE, who is from BELGIUM.  Then there’s trombonist PHILIPPE DeSMET, who also fares from BELGIUM.  Plus clarinettist BOSS QUEROD, who is from FRANCE.  Then we have three English musicians.  First of all, a great treat for you, banjoist, PAUL SEALEY (10yrs with Chris Barber’s Band).  Second, there’s leader of the band, BRIAN TURNOCK.  Brian lives between U.K. and Belgium and plays double bass. Brian has recorded with many ‘greats’ such as George Lewis and Lil Armstrong,  Plus third, of course you all know drummer EMILE MARTYN, who lives between U.K. and U.S.A, (frequently visiting his Dad, famous band leader Barry Martyn – now living in New Orleans).  I am really looking forward to having this band back again at Farnborough.  We are so lucky to have such talent here, don’t you think.

So come and join us, your hosts,

Diane and Keith
