14th – The Otis B Driftwood Showband – see their Facebook page
REVIEWS:
John Carter and John Roman: ”A New band for Gosport, although two members Tim (trumpet) and Graham (drums) are familiar from other bands. An 8-piece fun band playing a wide range of Jazz music and lots of laughs. A pleasant change from our usual fare.”
Juliette and Malcolm: “Very different but great entertainment with a good mix of jazz & other genres. Lovely to see the band supporting Ukraine and their musicians.”
Roger and Lesley: “What a show from this Showband. New lyrics to old songs and new jokes plus virtuoso playing in all departments. The Vivaldi played on and electric accordian was a first for Gosport and brought the house down. We need a separate form to write about those two fantastic Ukrainian Musicians.”
Robert and Brenda Davenport: ”Please have them back, such talent & great fun.”
John & Diane: “ Fantastic session, best one we’ve been to. Hope to see more of them.”
Sheila Gillie and Tony Bailey: “Good fun band – a nice change. The Ukrainians were very good.”
Dean Alder & Mary Sutton-Coulson: ”The best nights music so far. Such a great mix of genres. The Ukrainian couple were amazing. The band are hilarious, please bring them back.”
