9th – The Jake Leg Jug Band
REVIEWS:
Roger & Lesley: “So pleased they came back. Another great evening. Especially liked Richard’s trombone which gave a new dimension and the clarinet playing of Lana May in the blues.”
Julia Hubery & Mark Willis: “What a fantastic performance, individually & collectively. Not enough superlatives for it – vocals, harmonica, guitar, clarinet, trombone and I have NEVER heard a St James Infirmary so incredibly, amazingly wonderful.”
John Carter: “A different band from our usual fare, playing a mix of traditional Folk, Country and Hill Billy music with a bit of Skiffle. Lively foot-tapping entertainment.”
Malcolm & Tessa: “Very entertaining even with two different performers from last time (Lana – first time at the Club – & Richard). Great fun.”
23rd – Golden Eagle Jazz Band
REVIEWS:
John, Gill & Gwyn: “Very enjoyable band. Happy-go-lucky musician who really enjoyed playing together. Pity about the jokes! Loved them really.”
Juliette, Yvonne and Tessa: “A great evening’s entertainment. Even the jokes were good.”
Malcolm: “Great evening from same line-up as in March. Very varied repertoire and tempi. Four solo vocalists. As good as it gets at GJC. A sample joke from Kevin: ‘There aren’t many jokes about white sugar but brown ones demerara!’”
Nick & Heather and Carole: “One of the longest established trad bands and tonight NOT lacking in vitality, spirit humour and musical talent. Brilliant!”
Lesley & Roger: “Some different tunes played by a talented crew. Lots of personality and jokes? Good New Orleans jazz – a very entertaining evening.”
Ron Norman: “Great evening’s entertainment – pity about the jokes! One of my favourite drummers in this band.”
