Urban Gin House Band at the Europa

On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House jazz band. It was the 'regular' quintet comprising leader Richard Wilcox (valve trombone), Alan Brock (trumpet), Alan Dandy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (string bass) and Mike Knipe (drums). Guests were Roy Stokes and Peter Clancy (slide trombones), John Shepherd (pocket trumpet) and John Ferguson (string bass and great vocals). Colin Lewry played solo keyboard in the intervals. The pub was busy, which must be good in view of the change of landlord.
Once again I was stopped by the police and breathalysed on the way home; why they chose me from the dozens of vehicles travelling at the same speed along the A3 is baffling. They missed the driver who passed us on the inside at 100 MPH or more. They were disappointed in the breathalyser reading of 19 so gave me a stiff lecture about drinking any alcohol at all.
