8th<\/sup> – Martin Bennett’s Old Green River Band<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong>:
Tim & Andrew: \u201cBrilliant band but sadly lacking a trombone.  Not much much repartee, but perhaps not such a bad thing.\u201d
Roger & Lesley: \u201cSome very toe-tapping numbers mixed with lovely blues. A nice mixture of standard and other, not so familiar pieces.  Good reed playing and enjoyed the stick bass man.\u201d
Tony Baily: \u201cGreat swinging jazz.  Always great to see Martin and the guys.  A super set.  Come back soon.\u201d
David & David: \u201cBest trumpet I\u2019ve seen at Gosport.  Great band.\u201d
Margaret & Jim Bevington: \u201cSome lovely old songs in the first half.\u201d
Anon: \u201cWe appreciated the harmonious swing!  The band travelled from afar and they thank Vicky and Chris for the B&B.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
