A room refreshingly packed with the unusual suspects (I only recognised 3 people out of around a crowd 50) greeted My Iris last Sunday at the The Globe.
The band, led by Trish Clowes on tenor saxophone, who also composed all but one of the tunes performed on the night, showcased their latest album A View With a Room and it was indeed this rather groovy number which kicked the evening off.
The entire session was a joy - something for everyone - plenty of melody and harmony for those that way inclined but also bags of improvisation. Each individual musician was marvellous and hearing a proper Hammond organ instead of having to listen to the fake manufactured sound produced by the latest electronic whizz bang keyboard was worth it’s weight in quavers.

Bandleader Clowes' sax solos were constantly challenging never clichéd and always interesting. The interplay between all 4 was infectious they were clearly seen to be enjoying themselves and their exuberance seemed to transfer to the audience who demanded and received a well deserved encore. On departing the Globe gannin’ towards The Scotswood Road we had smiles upon our faces. Steve H
