Very enjoyable. Shame the Side attendances have fallen away a bit lately - it's a smashing little venue and deserves full support.
Something rather special has been happening there since it started up. Come on jazz fans - time to get away from that reclining armchair!
Ghost of a chance - our man Victor Young again.

Hi Lance
Another great performance from Ruth and the boys. I can't wait for the new CD to come out !
