10th<\/sup> \u2013 Bob Dwyer\u2019s Bix \u2018n\u2019 Pieces<\/p>\n

REVIEWS<\/strong>:
Julia & Mark: “We were smiling most of the night, as usual with this band – who couldn’t love the energy & commitment the always bring?  Brilliant individually, they somehow seem to be more than the sum of individual performances when playing ensemble, pinging off each other and really jamming.  Faves: Tin Roof Blues, <\/em>gorgeous to hear the instruments slowed down and get really expressive, why don’t they slow down more??  Also loved the play-off between trumpet and piano in Davenport Blues <\/em>– beautiful toned, playful and fluid and a beautiful interpretation of Black & Blue!”
<\/em>Malcolm S: “Great entertainment.  Six superb musicians playing a good selection of lovely music.  Lots of energy and good vocals. It\u2019s been eighteen months since they were last here \u2013 can we have them back sooner please?”
Melinda Viner: “Very, very much liked the band, Fantastic!!”
Tony & Sheila: “Very enjoyable band, loved Chris.”
Phil, Tony, Linda and John: “Brilliant band – great sound.  Great show. One of the best.  outstanding entertainment.”
John & Rita Porter: “Good selection of music and jazz.  Enjoyed the whole evening.  The lad on the keyboard blended in well!”
Gwyn & John: ” Really enjoyed hearing Chris play and sing!  Very enjoyable evening – good all round musicianship.”
Roger & Lesley: \u201cWhat a great evening\u2019s entertainment from Bob and the boys playing all of Bix\u2019s hits and many more in the New Orleans style.  We must have heard Royal Garden Blues <\/em>a hundred times but never before heard the lyrics, which were sung so well by Chris.  Let\u2019s hope they come back again soon.\u201d
Maureen & John C: “A very welcome return for this ever popular band.  Right from the off with their lively performances of At the Jazz band Ball<\/em> and Jazz Me Blues.<\/em>  As the name suggests they feature mainly numbers linked to Bix Beiderbecke.  Excellent entertainment.”  
<\/em>Brenda & Robert D: “Very good band.  We particularly liked Tin Roof Blues <\/em>and Davenport Blues.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
