Whilst it may not have quite lived up to expectations, it was, nevertheless, an okay gig with some original originals and some original interpretations of standards. In the latter category was "The Way You Look Tonight" done in 3/4. Lauren Housley sang it well enough, although I think she may have been more comfortable doing it in four. "Angel Eyes" however, went down easily; like oysters and champagne on New Year's Eve.Frontman Tom Dibb had some good solos, notably on "Stella By Starlight" in the first set and on his own compositions in the second. That such young musicians are not only familiar with the great standards but can play them so capably augers well for the future of the music and themslves.
On bass guitar, Luke Eigle was sound without being spectacular whilst on drums, David Carnegie was, well, David Carnegie - nuff said!
