4th March – Roger Marks’ Cornish Armada – Nat Gonella commemoration gig
REVIEWS:
Gill, Sandra & Brian: “Most entertaining – don’t think there was a foot in the audience that wasn’t tapping – and community singing too!”
Richard & Gill Farrar and John Roman: “Very Enjoyable Evening. Lot of bater. Great hearing Nat Gonella’s trumpet again since I heard him at (HMS) Collingwood in the 50s (Gill).”
Kate, Roger & Lesley: “A very enjoyable evening. Great musicianship, humour and a fitting celebration of Nat Gonella’s birthday. Loved Graham’s playing – wonderful mellow tones on both trumpets – a real talent.”
Julia Hubery, Mark Willis & Sue Hubery: “We’re all out of superlatives. Just feel sorry for anyone who missed these amazing guys.”
Pauline & John Bush: “A wonderful evening of classical jazz with entertaining adaptions. Great musicians.”
Frankie Patterson: “Virtuoso performances by soloists, great band, great atmosphere.”
Maureen & John Carter: “Welcome to this very popular West Country band for Nat’s Anniversary concert. With one or two personnel changes, including top clarinettist and band Leader Pet Allen. A super evening’s entertainment as befits a Nat Gonella’s birthday celebration.”
Malcolm, Maureen & Veronica: “On really good form. Great entertainment. Welcome to Jim Newton, first time at GJC and to Pete Allen, first time in 10 years.”
