Audience of reasonable size (not packed out like it could have been, but
hey, it was a Saturday night…..) However, the band gelled and
Lindsay was on form. We’d have settled for nothing less!
The (planned & advertised) Jam Session was something different. Only a few musicians brought their instruments, and after the audience
removed themselves to the lower bar area, there was but one keen jammer with
trombone in hand. And, after he’d blown out his Birthday Cake candle, it
was time (shortly before midnight) for Joe Fowler to call a few tunes.
The absence of drums could have left a big hole in the proceedings,
but the arrival of James Harrison allowed a piano accompaniment
(striding like a maestro!!!) which filled the space very nicely! Vocals
from Lindsay, Joe F and at one point John Pope kept everyone on their toes.
A canny jam, with a sole volunteer making use of the house band, unless
some spontaneous singing erupted after I’d left? …………
