REVIEWS:
Andrea, Doug & Eadie: “So joyful! Really loved them! Paula is great – they all are!”
Juliette, Yvonne, Jenny & Gary: “Excellent evening of great musical skill. Great rapport with the audience.”
John & Maureen Carter: “An almost complete change of personnel in this band since their last two visits to Gosport, not counting Graham of course (their leader!). But still the same lively style and enjoyable performance as usual.”
John & Brenda Bugg, John Kilian and Jean Petty: “Very good! Great trumpeter. (No flowers on out table!)”
Vic, Barry, Trish, Joy: “Some great tunes played by a talented band enhanced by the brilliance of ‘Magic’ Mike Henry on cornet.”
Nick & Heather Anderson and Carole Mort: “A very talented band playing the best rendition of all the numbers. Brilliant.”
Malcolm: “A treat of jazz standards. Great entertainment by six great musicians. Only Graham from the previous line-up, so a completely new ensemble. Welcome to Paul Taylor on trombone, new to Gosport JC.”
23rd – Chris Newman’s Georgia Ramblers
REVIEWS:
Tony & Jenny Billings: “It’s a real treat to see and hear Chris play syncopated piano – especially enjoyed Elite Syncopations! Love the finishes too!”
Maureen & John Carter: “Our very own Chris on the keyboard with his own band playing a wide range of mainly traditional jazz classics plus one or two more modern numbers. Excellent entertainment.”
Chris, Lesley and Roger: “A great evening’s entertainment with Chris leading us on a ramble through the history of jazz. Lots of vocals from Pete Dorday (hope he doesn’t retire at Christmas) supported by three other very talented musicians,”
Tony and Sheila: “Always a good band with surreal piano player. As good as always.”
Nick & Heather A and Carole: “The band tonight have again shown their high standards of play, Double brilliant.”
