Urban Gin House band with Ivor Elliott

On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House jazz band. This time it was a quintet comprising Alan Brock (trumpet), Ivor Elliott (tenor sax, pictured), Alan Dandy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (string bass) and Mike Knipe (drums). The guests from the audience came in three groups:
1) John Shepherd (pocket trumpet)
2) Trevor Dockerill (clarinet) with Roy Stokes and Jed Kearse (trombones)
3) Peter Miles (vocals).
Colin Lewry (keyboard) played during the breaks.
Our favourite number was 'I Cover the Waterfront' from the base band, with great solos from Ivor and the two Alans. Ivor is our favourite tenor sax player and he adds so much to the band that we wish he could play with them every Sunday. Last night was his birthday so we commented that it was we who were receiving the birthday treat by hearing him play.
