GOLDEN EAGLE JAZZ BAND<\/strong> returned to play for us at Farnborough Jazz Club<\/strong> on Friday 1st<\/sup> August 2014<\/strong>. The band is led by KEVIN SCOTT,<\/strong> who plays tenor banjo, with MIKE SCROXTON<\/strong> on trumpet, ALAN CRESSWELL<\/strong> on clarinet, ROY STOKES<\/strong> on trombone & vocals, MIKE BROAD<\/strong> on double bass and PETE JACKMAN<\/strong> on drums. They soon got into the swing and Kevin was once again on form with his jokes (I shan\u2019t quote any, so he can repeat them at other gigs, if he so wants to). The dancing began with the first number, \u2018Yes, Yes in Your Eyes\u2019<\/em>. Another one was sang by Mike (S), namely \u2018Ting-a-Ling (The Bells’ll Ring)\u2019<\/em> and was enjoyed by musicians and audience alike. Then that great number (recorded by Benny Goodman, plus many more) \u2018The World is Waiting for the Sunrise\u2019<\/em>. My next jotting was a lovely easy to listen and also dance to, namely \u2018Barefoot Boy\u2019<\/em> with Mike (S) singing. We performed our line-dance to \u2018Nobody\u2019s Sweetheart Now\u2019<\/em>. The number was played at quite a fast tempo, so not quite sure what our audience thought of us, but we all enjoyed dancing it (hmmm). The next number \u2018Walking with the King\u2019<\/em>, was sung by Roy and is a good ol\u2019 trad favourite, so we all sung along too, band and audience alike. Then Mike (S) sang \u2018Trombone Blues\u2019<\/em> and then \u2018Running Wild\u2019<\/em> was played spectacularly by everyone. I danced, so couldn\u2019t remark in my notes, but ticked tune big time (when I returned out of breath!) Last number to mention was \u2018I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream\u2019<\/em> Kevin sang and of course once again, we all joined in the usual place, completing another evening with everyone saying they enjoyed and loved the band.<\/p>\n

They will be playing at \u2018Ye Olde Whyte Lyon\u2019 Pub at Locks Bottom, on the A21 (Kent) on 24th<\/sup> August Bank Holiday Sunday (2014), 3.00-6.00pm. The garden has been beautifully refurbished and there will be a barbeque (including usual menu). There is some parking and Sainsbury\u2019s car park at the rear is free on Sundays & Bank Holidays (walk thru slipway to pub). Bus routes from all directions (ask us if you need to know).<\/p>\n

Before closing and just a mention, I thought Sunday\u2019s World War One Remembrance Services showed such tremendous organisation by everyone and yes, I lit a candle and blew it out at 11.00pm, but it made me feel so sad. However, the Commonwealth Games were brilliant though, don\u2019t you think. Well done Glasgow and well done the England Teams.<\/p>\n

Keep smiling.<\/p>\n
