24th<\/sup> – Kevin Grenfell’s Jazz Giants<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong>:
John & Brenda Bugg and John Killian: \u201cMulti-brass talented Kevin, sings, jokes and generally insults anyone in sight, but provides us with a fabulous band, tap-your-feet\u00a0repertoire and a barn storming evening every time.\u00a0 What more could you want?\u201d
Mark Willis & Julia Hubery: \u201cHuge energy, fantastic arrangements and wonderfully inventive playing made old favourites sound incredibly fresh.\u00a0 Really enjoyed Chris\u2019s stunning boogie-woogie solo and intense complex, percussion.\u00a0 The whole band were rocking in The Chicken Song.
<\/em>Maureen & John Carter: \u201cStraight from the off in Running Wild <\/em>this lively band entertained.\u00a0 Five top notch musicians doing what they do best.\u00a0 Super evening\u2019s entertainment.\u201d
Doug & Andrea (Guest): \u201dVery enjoyable evening thank you.\u201d
Hugh Emsley: \u201dAnother fabulous evening from this excellent \u00a0group. \u00a0We must have them again soon.\u201d
Malcolm: \u201cVery entertaining evening by Kevin and co. \u00a0Mostly jazz standards but very well performed by five excellent musicians.\u00a0 Drums too insistent and would have welcomed more subtlety.\u201d
Roger & Lesley: \u201cGreat jazz played by five very talented musicians, plus humour and great interaction with the audience made for a very entertaining and memorable evening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
