This week, it\u2019s GRANTIES DIXIE SIX, playing here again at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB (Kent), Friday 22nd<\/sup> February 2019.  The band made its debut entrance two weeks ago, 8th<\/sup> February 2019 and it was such a success with most of our audience \u2013 it was full on brilliant jazz.  We\u2019d put different top guys together to play, making a wonderful relaxed band \u2013 relaxed because, although they hadn\u2019t played together before, being all top pros, they were not worried.  It is lovely to witness something new.  These guys play all over the place in different bands (all having played here too).  On Friday, it will be the same line-up.  PETE RUDEFORTH is on trumpet again, so get down here for Friday, because he is such a busy guy, we can only enjoy him occasionally.  Then, although the rest of them are busy \u2018big\u2019 bees too, we have got them a little more often.  So, for now, it\u2019s the same line-up, with JOHN LEE on reeds, BOB DWYER on trombone & vocals, plus TIM HUSKISSON on piano, ROGER CURPHEY on double bass and of course, KEITH GRANT on drums.  I did sing a couple of songs and managed to get through my nervous shakes, ha – and yes will do so again, but you can always pop out at that moment!  Again, if you haven\u2019t been before, now\u2019s the time to come.  Keep the year going with some brilliant jazz.  As I always say, we have a lovely friendly atmosphere with dancing, plus fun banter between audience and bands.  The bar is a Shepherd Neame one (club prices) and we have plenty of free off-road carparking space.  All this for just a \u00a310 entrance. Come on, what are you waiting for.  See you tonight (from 8:00pm till 11:00pm).  (yes, I know, I\u2019ve cut-n-pasted this last bit \u2013 shame on me!).  Also – sorry have worked on photos for hours – new system and is driving me crazy, so will try to sort out another day!<\/strong>  Your hosts, Diane and Keith<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
