The King is Dead - Long Live the King. Alan Barnes and the Liquorice Stick All-Sorts.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4QfhyphenhyphenPi5MdxD8KyRsueM7QurYgsowruP4GXEuDbqHloq08pfrwKqBZdEg76qyRkGZdcxximawbXIAIHO2BpSVTZUSs0wpMaRNd-rBBZPNIyaEGUonBw-6TNf-Cc5u2TkXCzBYWFvkDU/s200/trio+2.gif)
Alan Barnes, whilst better known for his fiery modern alto playing, has absorbed rather than imitated the Goodman style resulting in a suggestion of how Benny may have sounded had he been receptive to the changing times which of course he wasn't.
On vibes, Jim Hart was the perfect foil; his four mallet technique on a par with the past masters of his instrument. Paul Clarvis on drums completed the line-up.
An excellent gig although I think it could have have been even better with a bass even if it meant dispensing with drums.

Earlier, the Bridgetakers were somewhat depleted with only Dave Weisser in the frontline. However, for the final set, they were augmented by Nicola on alto which added contrast both aurally and visually. Eric Stutt (apologies for previous mispelling) on drums, Alex Hall (gtr), John Pope (bs) and Barry Ashcroft (pno) completed the line-up.
