13th – Tony Scriven Sunshine Jazz Band
REVIEWS:
Brenda & Robert Davenport: “Marvellous, authentic swinging New Orleans jazz. The best band we have heard at GJC. Let’s have them back.”
Hugh Emsley, Ann & Richard Wilson: “Excellent professional group of players with a lovely varied programme.”
Roger & Lesley: “Gosport had been grey all day until the Sunshine Band’s playing lit up the evening with superb playing and lots of energy. They were so obviously enjoying themselves it was infectious and this was caught by the audience. A truly memorable evening at GJC.”
Gary & Malcolm: “A brilliant evening’s entertainment. Good choice of tunes well played by accomplished musicians. First time at GJC since records began for Tony Scrivens and Paul Busby but they, and the whole band, are welcome back anytime.”
Juliette, Yvonne & Rosemary: “Excellent evening of entertainment with some very professional & talented musicians. Good rapport with the audience.”
Maureen & John Carter: “A really lively band driven along by Tony on drums (and washboard) in his tribute to the late, great Monty Sunshine. Excellent evening.”
Bob, Veronica, Paul & Jan: “Excellent band. The music flowed well with no pregnant pauses, that you get with some bands. Very well presented by good musicians and very enjoyable. Definitely book them again.”
Tony Billing and Guests: “Brilliant – got to be one of the best bands we’ve ever had. Lovely variety of styles/moods. Drummer is an inspiration – really enjoying himself! Excellent precise finishes too!”
