It's surely not a good idea to cross swords with the blogmaster but, as self-appointed Fashion Editor of BSH, I must protest at the photo of Zoe in his review. The photo does nothing to convey the mixture of glamour and confident friendliness that Zoe and the band projected. Other women singers I've seen usually don't chat much, but Zoe's tales of Travel Lodge adventures, at London, Ipswich etc. were interesting and amusing.

My dear Ann, I'll have you know that the black and white photo you refer to was taken to re-create the mood of 'Round Midnight. Bleak, lonely and poignant. Full of broken dreams and stark realism.
However, to appease you, I have added a coloured picture to your otherwise excellent article.
Your P45's in the post.
Lance.
Hi Lance
Two things...1)What nonsence is this - 'Fashion Editor'? 2)I agree with the 'Fashion Editor' that the photograph doesn't do Zoe justice. That said, the poignancy of Round Midnight does explain the rather stark black and white image except that your review failed to set in context the dedication of the tune to Paul Gamblin. Well, Ann, I guess I can expect my P45 is the post.
