The LORD <\/strong>NAPIER HOT SHOTS<\/strong> produced a really happy atmosphere for us on Friday 16th<\/sup> January 2015<\/strong>, here at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB<\/strong>. The musicians in the band were MIKE JACKSON<\/strong> on trumpet, MIKE DUCKWORTH<\/strong> on trombone, PAT GLOVER<\/strong> on reeds, JOHN STUART<\/strong> on banjo, MICK SCRIVEN<\/strong> on double bass & bass sax and ARTHUR FRYATT<\/strong> on drums. They had been playing lunch time at the Lord Hood in Greenwich, but you would not have believed it as they were all so fresh.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Dear Arthur is now 86 years young, so definitely a \u2018one up yours\u2019 to all the government, medical and media bods who are talking about our \u2018aged\u2019 generation being a waste of space. Our audience can vouch for this being laughable. A young couple in their 20\u2019s (I think), in our audience had this band for their wedding. Plus, my granddaughter (who is two weeks off her ninth birthday) enjoyed herself too at my birthday celebration evening (the last one for this year-ha). Thanks boys for entertaining me\/us with a super assortment of good jazz. Now the difficult job of what to mention and what not to mention, so not to give their complete repertoire away! To begin with, their first number was \u2018That Da Da Strain\u2019<\/em>, a \u2018Bob Crosby and his Bobcats\u2019 famed number\u2019 and a fabulous one to start off with.<\/p>\n

Pat, who has a very pleasant engaging voice, sang the next number, \u2018In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree\u2019<\/em>. Arthur also has a wonderful jazzy voice and sang \u2018Just a Little While to Stay Here\u2019<\/em> for us. Then a really lovely number I don\u2019t think has been played here before was \u2018All Alone by the Telephone\u2019<\/em> (both John McCormick and Al Jolson had number 1 hits with this one). Then \u2018One Sweet Letter from You\u2019<\/em> was another great number and must mention that Arthur gave a marvelous drum solo, although they all performed fabulous solos. Mike (J) then sang \u2018Weary Blues\u2019<\/em>, Mike also has a great voice (phew so many great singers around).<\/p>\n

Next, Arthur came up to join the front line and we had a couple of brilliant songs with him performing on washboard (& vocals), one number being \u2018Doctor Jazz\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I put couple of asterisks next to the next one, \u2018New Orleans Shuffle\u2019<\/em>. Certainly a fun number, played brilliantly. My next number to note was \u2018Cake Walking Babies\u2019<\/em> as it was our choice to perform our line-dance to, it has a great tempo – always a little bit of fun. Only five of us this time, as some regulars were away with illness. Then for their closing number, they played that aptly named finale \u2018Get out of Here and Go on Home\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n
