Magna Jazz Band with John Barnes 


On Thursday evening we went to the Berrylands Hotel in Surbiton, where Brian White's Magna jazz band performs every week. Brian White was away so in his place we had John Barnes playing clarinet and tenor sax. We last saw John 38 years ago with the Alex Welsh band, in the days when he contrived to look older than his true age. He is unregognisable but plays as well as ever. For one of his two feature numbers he sang the Alan Sherman version of 'Our Love is Here to Stay', i.e. 'Your Mother's Here to Stay'. I wish I had not been so tired after a hard day's work !
