28th – Otis B Driftwood Showband – see their Facebook page

REVIEWS:
Malcolm and Gary: “Only six of them this time without the Ukrainians.  Great fun and something very different which made an enjoyable evening.  Nice to see Jules Cowie on double bass for the first time at Gosport.”
John and Rita Porter: “Enjoyed songs, too much Hi-De Hi content.”
Nick and Heather A and Carole Mort: “Not a good night for the Jazz purist but few would object to a little Jazz humour.  Wonderful evening!”
Roger and Lesley: “Superb Musicians ,especially the sax and trombone and Tim Eyles solos.  Too much “show biz” for our taste.  The hats wasted a lot of jazz playing time.”
Rob and Dawn Kemish: “Entertaining.”
Ashley Morgan: “Marvellous entertainment ! Geoff Hiscott’s irreverent sense of humour should get him banned from most places!”
Tony R Bailey: “Always a good show with lots of laughs.”
