Event Date: August 22, 2009
Event Venue: The Stables

Our 5th PRO show in the last 15 years and it's still one of our favourite shows. The line-up of virtuoso's has a couple of changes (the first female? - a saxophonist) but we still recognise most faces, and you'll never forget Simon Townsend the pianist who could do a credible turn as a stand-up comedian (now a BBC radio presenter). The touch of light comedy was appreciated by all between the beautifully arranged classics swing and hot dance numbers from the 20/30s - Well known songs like Putting on Ritz, Tiger Rag, Anything goes, Love is the sweetest thing, Cotton Club, and their signature tune of course - Home in Pasadena. Supreme vocalist was Duncan Galloway. We're in the younger age bracket of audience of early 50s but have a very wide range of musical tastes leaning more to 60-90s music but this band is highly recommended as they carry you away to a different era. Check their website for CD, videos and full repertoire listings.
The Stables is an ideal venue and beautiful sound, we'll be back there soon for Roxy Music and Bee Gees, Coco Montoya and some rock!
