First visit to this venue with a
nice French cafe style setting. Man of the match was substitute Dion Krishna in for normal bass player Mick Danby who had a shoulder injury. I noticed that Dean Stockdale plays a red
“Nord” piano, identical to the house piano at Hoochie and the one that Caro
Emerald’s piano man uses
One word that says it all for this band –
SOPHISTICATED! Katherine informed me it was only their fourth gig since they were
formed six months ago. What a pad they have got together. Two great sets, each
number perfectly polished:.
Sway, Cheek to Cheek, My Heart Belongs to Daddy, Night and Day, I Wish
You Love, Misty, Wade in the Water Hit the Road to Dreamland, The Way You Look
Tonight, Falling in Love Again, Ain't Misbehavin’, That Old Black Magic.
Besame Mucho, Spooky, Dindi, Route 66, S’Wonderful, Squeeze me,
Sunny, I Get a Kick Out of You, You are so Beautiful, Love me or Leave me, Agua
de Beba, I Wish I Knew (TV Film theme)
Club organizer Hazel Hanley
travels down all the way from Alston to run the gig. Hazel played double bass
with some of the other club regulars in a quick jam during the interval. At £3
entry I just hope the main band got their BFH – bus fair (petrol money) home
Dion Krishnan has a gig with Anna
Reay at La Bodega Morpeth on November 29. More details later
