H<\/b>ow about the GOLDEN EAGLE JAZZ BAND<\/b> who were with us once again at our Farnborough Jazz Club<\/b> on Friday 25th<\/sup> April 2014<\/b>?\u00a0 I know I\u2019m just going to upset you though, if you missed them!\u00a0 Another fabulous evening of fun entertainment.\u00a0 The audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as did the band.\u00a0 Their leader, KEVIN SCOTT<\/b> has a wonderful sense of humour all the time and I don\u2019t know anyone who doesn\u2019t love a laugh, as well as appreciating talented musicians giving their all.\u00a0 Kevin, who plays tenor banjo, had MIKE SCROXTON<\/b> on trumpet, ALAN CRESSWELL<\/b> on clarinet, ROY STOKES<\/b> on trombone & vocals, MIKE BROAD<\/b> on double bass and PETE JACKMAN<\/b> on drums.\u00a0 Honestly, this is another wonderfully popular band.\u00a0 I mentioned last week that at one time, I had a quick peek into their own website, just to check name spellings [www.gejb.webeden.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0 – click on \u2018Home-The Golden Eagle Jazz Band\u2019].\u00a0 I had forgotten we had posted a comment to the band.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most likely adapted from our own website, but temporarily lost, so I asked you to check it out to remind yourselves of their very first evening here (when I get a moment, I\u2019ll try to retrieve all lost newsletters from the past!). \u00a0\u00a0As for this Friday, I now have to decide what numbers to mention and it won\u2019t be easy, as I picked so many!\u00a0 Well, they began the evening with \u2018Red Wing\u2019.\u00a0 Kevin introduced it, saying it had some reference to a battle tune – about the time of the American Civil War.\u00a0 Ken Colyar recorded it in 1955.\u00a0 What a great start!\u00a0 Then came a Paul Whiteman number \u2018There\u2019s Yes! Yes! In Your Eyes\u2019 and was sung by Mike (another good jazz singer).\u00a0 I always love to mention \u2018Ciribiribin\u2019, whenever it is played, because when looking it up a couple of years back, I got to make contact with the person who helped Jack Lawrence (co-composer) to write one of his book.\u00a0 Jack was still writing to fans almost right up to his death aged 97yrs, brilliant.\u00a0 Colin Dobson and his wife Jo and family came to see the band.\u00a0 Colin being part of the trumpet section in the Billy Cotton Band Show (remember \u2018Wakey, Wakey\u2019 fame).\u00a0 The boys played Billy Cotton\u2019s signature tune \u2018Somebody Stole My Gal\u2019.\u00a0 Mike sang it and of course we all sang along too.\u00a0 Anther tune well worth a mention was \u2018Lord, Lord, Lord\u2019, because they played it a storm, really swinging. \u00a0I had written down \u2018Brilliant\u2019.\u00a0 They are a sitting band, but the front line (including Kevin) stood up to play mid-stream \u2013 quite effective.\u00a0\u00a0 Alan was featured next with George Lewis\u2019 signature tune \u2018Burgundy Street\u2019.\u00a0 Alan was superb (accompanied by Mike and Kevin), I don\u2019t think there was a sound from the audience, whilst he played, but huge applause ensued.\u00a0 Another wonderful bit of fun was when they played \u2018I Thank You Mr Moon\u2019, because Mike sang the main part, with Kevin and Alan joining in doing their \u2018Boswell Sisters\u2019 act, definitely their party piece, ha. \u00a0My last number to mention is \u2018I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream\u2019.\u00a0 What a great job Kevin did singing it too and of course once again the audience joined in.\u00a0 Just a little added anecdote, before the audience arrived, I asked Kevin if he could give me a list of numbers they might be playing (so I could just put my remarks only).\u00a0 When he gave it to me, I said I don\u2019t suppose you will stick to it, but it will help me, to which he replied \u2018How very dare you\u2019 (Katherine Tate style)!\u00a0 Mike chimed in with \u2018I expect she wants to give it to George Tidiman\u2019 – lovely humour.\u00a0 Anyway, wherever this band plays, be sure to go along.\u00a0 You certainly won\u2019t regret it, they are such fun and very enthusiastic.\u00a0 Their next date with us is Friday 1st<\/sup> August 2014, please put a note in your diaries to come.<\/p>\n

We aim to please with \u2018Live\u2019 music.<\/p>\n
