Great review of a great night Lance. It could not get any better than that as they say!
The young trumpeter is going to go place without question. Very Impressive playing by a 14 year old . 14 years old ??????? Wow
We are privledged in the north east to have such talent.
Ron Ainsborough
That was some jam session debut by Ferg. The 'old guard' - Abbie, Harry, Joel et al - had better watch out!
A marvellous night made special by a 14 year old trumpet player called Ferg Kilsby whom on this evidence has a great future along with the future of north east jazz.
BRIAN SHINE
Yes indeed! Ferg was amazing - such a sweet tone, and some neat ideas. Very mature in style for a young lad. He did so well, and should feel really good about his first sit in.
Names are now added to all 22 photos of the gig. Click on the photo link in the main post for all of my photographic memories of a great gig.
