11th – Acoustic Jass
REVIEWS:
John & Brenda Bugg: “In this austerity world, four-piece bands are more common and trumpet, clarinet, banjo and sousaphone provide the essentials for Dixieland jazz. Providing the boys can play, of course and these guys really can!! Great repertoire too.”
John Carter: “Another visit by this popular four-piece band, playing in the Temperance Seven style a wide range of jazz classics – show tunes and novelty numbers. Very well received.”
Roger & Lesley: “Good music and musicians and a full evening of sousaphone. Lots of authentic New Orleans tunes and jokes! Very entertaining evening.”
Jan, Veronica, Stella & Bob: “A really good band. Entertaining and good musicians.”
Tony Baily: “A small group with a big sound.”
Gwyn, Jill & John: “Very enjoyable evening. Great songs. Loved the jackets!”
