Fresh from last night's gig at the Cluny with TASQ, Adam Hastings turned up at the Chilli playing bass guitar alongside another surprise guest in fellow guitar hero Mark Williams. With two such formidable frettists in the rhythm section the initial lack of another front line horn player was barely noticeable. Bop was definitely on the menu tonight with numbers such as "Anthropology" and "Well You Needn't" two of the 52nd St anthems played. The former had Dave (Weisser) scatting in unison with Mark whilst the latter featured Adam, now on guitar, and his dad, George Hastings on bass - a talented family.
