\"Robert<\/a>

Leader,\u00a0 ROBERT DUIS<\/strong>, 1st Cornet<\/span>
The Limehouse Jazzband from Holland<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Dank<\/span> Limehouse<\/span> Jazzband<\/span> voor een zeer<\/span> plezierige tijd<\/span>.<\/p>\n

LIMEHOUSE JAZZBAND<\/strong>, a 10piece band from Holland, returned to play for us limeys here at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB <\/strong>on Friday, 24th<\/sup> October 2014 as part of their 2014 Tour<\/strong>. They have included us in their tours since 2008 (possibly earlier \u2013 I\u2019m still unable to access an old computer at present). Robert is such a great personality, with a wonderful sense of humour and super with intros.<\/p>\n

\"LIMEHOUSE<\/a>

LIMEHOUSE JAZZBAND on 2014 Tour – from Holland (Limers) play at Farnborough Jazz Club, Kent, UK (Limeys) on 24th October 2014. Band:\u00a0 ROBERT DUIS (cnt1&ldr), GUIDO CORNET(cnt2&tutr), RUUD PETRI(trb), \u00a0HENRI GIEBELS(tnrsx, clt&vocs), WILLEM HELLBREKER(alt sx1&clt), MARTEN DE NES(alt sx2&clt), SIR WIL VAN SCHAIK(bj), LOU\u00cbS HOUET(pno), PIETER VOS(tba) & ROB BAKKER(pctn, wshb&voc).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Photo: Mike Witt<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

The lineup has changed a bit since their last visit. ROBERT DUIS<\/strong> was first cornet and leader (for the last time), with GUIDO CORNET<\/strong> on second cornet and tutor (what a great name for a cornetist aye). Plus RUUD PETRI<\/strong> on trombone, HENRI GIEBELS<\/strong> on tenor sax, clarinet and vocals. Also WILLEM HELLBREKER<\/strong> was on first alto sax and clarinet, plus MARTEN DE NES<\/strong> on second alto sax and clarinet. Then there was SIR WIL VAN SCHAIK<\/strong> on banjo, LOU<\/strong>\u00cb<\/strong>S HOUET<\/strong> on piano and PIETER VOS<\/strong> on tuba and last to mention, but by no means least, ROB BAKKER<\/strong> on percussion, washboard and vocals.<\/p>\n

My notes were sparse, so will not depict their whole picture. Unfortunately, the band were held up for hours at the Dartford Bridge crossing, so were unable to swing by their hotel to sign in before going to play at London\u2019s \u2018Spice of Life\u2019. Robert asked me to get in touch with the hotel to confirm their booking, knowing they would not arrive there much before 1.00am. However, I spent an hour trying to obtain contact (trying all sorts of things, including email!). You have to realise, they had ten rooms booked and didn\u2019t want to lose them! Save to say, I missed the first section completely! But I do know, the band did not show any tiredness from their horrible journey, remember they had also played lunchtime too.<\/p>\n

Now what can I tell you of their repertoire?\u00a0\u00a0 I do recall Robert announcing a special dedication to the Chinese restaurant they had a meal at, here in Farnborough Village – the song? \u2018Shanghai Shuffle\u2019<\/em>, of course. Lovely one boys. The next number I had noted was \u2018Save It Pretty Mama\u2019<\/em>. It has a lovely beat, so certainly brought on the dancers. \u2018Borneo\u2019<\/em> is another fun number (by the way, was recorded by The Muppets), followed by another Fox Trot (yes, dancers on again) \u2018Chloe, (Song of the Swamp)\u2019<\/em>. We were all asked what we wanted them to play next, \u2018Three Blind Mice\u2019<\/em>, or \u2018Krazy Kat\u2019<\/em> and we yelled out \u2018Krazy Kat\u2019<\/em>. Certainly a bit of fun, both Bix Beiderbecke numbers. Duke Ellington\u2019s \u2018The Mooche\u2019<\/em> came next, with Fats Waller\u2019s \u2018Looking Good, But Feeling Bad\u2019<\/em>, which was certainly one for our line-dance (performed by three of us, yes I said three, still, it gives us a little laugh). But then the next number lured all dancers on the floor with Fletcher Henderson\u2019s number, \u2018Hot Mustard\u2019<\/em>. Then McKinneys\u2019s Cotton Pickers\u2019 Fox Trot \u2018Plain Dirt\u2019<\/em> certainly continued to give the dancers more enjoyment. What a nice thought from their last tune, when announced as \u2018Christmas in Farnborough\u2019<\/em>, obviously Louis Armstrong\u2019s \u2018Christmas in New Orleans\u2019<\/em>. Of course, in return, ledereen bij ons Farnborough Jazz Club wenst de Limehouse Jazzband een zeer fijne feestdagen en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar.<\/p>\n

As an extra surprise, we had also arranged for them to appear at the Orpington Conservative Club on Saturday, 25th<\/sup> October 2014. Not a huge audience, but none-the-less, they performed with the same warmth and everyone enjoyed the concert. It had already been announced that Robert, after 12years as their leader, was retiring (Pieter Vos will be leader). So Robert<\/strong>, het was een genoegen te hebben gehad dat je speelt voor ons op onze Farnborough Jazz Club over meerdere jaren. Keith en ik, in het bijzonder, wensen u een lang en ontspannen pensioen. Blijf goed en wel om u te hebben gekend. We hopen te ontmoeten met u, als we winnen de Euro Loterij – hmmm. Liefs en kusjes van ons limeys om alles wat je Limers. xx<\/p>\n
