Went along to the first half at Crescent City 1:00 to 2:00 A dep band for the Vieux Carré gave a very relaxing performance, more mainstream than the normal (see pic) Gavin Lee clt - Don Fairley Tmb and an unknow Welsh guy playing like Alex Welsh.
Carried on to the Porthole in time to hear interval band George Laing trio (pic).
Various combos played until the main band came on at 2:30. Who else, but Dave Weisser sitting in (pic). Every number was a swinger.
Talked to the lady who sings at the Porthole and a couple who I normally see at Cullercoats (above). The lady who sings (on left in picture) told me she had lived in Cullercoats all here life. She had followed Ruth and Zoë's progress and she knew their families - all still living in Cullercoats
The couple in the above picture are from Cullercoats; they were travelling round Britain on the QE2 and had decided to go to the Porthole from the boat today as it was closer!
