On Sunday evening we saw the Phil Brown Swingtet performing at The Ely out in the country near Blackwater and Yately. This was our second time at this venue and our first impressions were confirmed; it attracts the younger generation and their children. Some of the young guys were applauding the band's performance, which was encouraging, but the pub emptied out over the evening until only the hard-core fans were left (plus Shirley, who arrived late due to the difficulty of finding the Ely in the dark). All seven of the band were present this time, which adds to the richness of the peformance. My favourite number was my request 'Caravan' by Juan Tizot which the Swingtet performs particularly well.
