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.”
