It was Andrew’s first time here, but\u00a0the rest have\u00a0all played here before with other bands.\u00a0 Peter\u00a0played here a long time ago, with George \u2018Kid\u2019 Tidiman\u2019s band.\u00a0 It was back in 2014 (4th April and 4th July 2014) and he remember it too – nice one.\u00a0 Paul was here for Keith\u2019s birthday in last August with \u2018Harry Strutters Hot Seven\u2019.\u00a0 The rest of the band you know well. \u00a0\u00a0I have to apologise too, for being so late with this newsletter, especially being their first time together. \u00a0I had mislaid my notes (well, it was Christmas time) to remind me of what they played and is no reflection on how they played.\u00a0 They certainly played some exciting jazz, great for dancing, as well as listening to \u2026 getting us in the festive spirit (that included my bah humbug, Keith ha). \u00a0Here goes to let you know what was played and my first choice of song is \u2018Baby Wont You Please Come Home\u2019<\/em><\/span>, sung beautifully by Peter and everyone played well, with particular mention of Andrew.<\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s partner, Jill (as promised) led us into some swinging line-dancing with their next tune, being the \u2018Charleston\u2019<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 I believe Jill was a dance teacher and she certainly got us going.\u00a0 As for the next one, \u2018Hyawatha Rag\u2019<\/em><\/span>, they were all brilliant and I particularly loved the excellent bit of trumpet and drumming duet from Peter and Graham in the middle.\u00a0 As already mentioned, it was Andrew\u2019s first time here and we all thoroughly enjoyed his playing especially to \u2018Do I Want You (Indeed I Do)\u2019<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 <\/em>Then I can remember the dance floor was highly used with everyone singing when they played \u2018All Of Me\u2019<\/span>, a<\/em>s was too with the next number, \u2018Bye Bye Blackbird\u2019<\/em><\/span>.\u00a0 We obviously love a song or two in the audience \u2013 ha).\u00a0\u00a0 Our photographer friend Mike was still away and luckily Jill Alexander and Peter Marr took\u00a0these photos of the band to make the evening.\u00a0 It certainly makes a difference to see some photos, even when the lighting isn’t so good (a bit atmospheric, don’t you agree?)\u00a0 Anyway, Keith had a sit-in next, whilst Graham had a dance with Jill (foxtrot I think).\u00a0 The tune being \u2018<\/span>My September In The Rain\u2019<\/span>,<\/em> with Peter playing lovely muted trumpet and also singing.<\/p>\n

What a super Louis hit tune came next, \u2018Swing That Music\u2019<\/em>,<\/span> with part of it being played only\u00a0by Peter, Paul and Mar\u2026no, I mean Tim, the front liners only, absolutely wonderful.\u00a0 Graham gave a great drum solo too. \u00a0They finished off with Glen Miller\u2019s \u2018In The Mood\u2019<\/span><\/em>, just fabulous, everyone played their socks off \u2013 Paul on trombone, Peter on trumpet, Tim on clarinet, our Roger on string bass, Graham on drums and our newcomer Andrew.\u00a0 Another fantastic night. Those who were there listening, thoroughly enjoyed themselves thanks boys.<\/p>\n
