On Monday night we sawBob Dwyer's Hot Six at the Cricketers in Horsell Birch, Woking. This was the hot seven minus drums, comprising Bob Dwyer (trombone, vocals), Bill Edmonds (trumpet), John Bain (clarinet, alto sax, bass sax), Chris Newman (keyboard), Peter Clancy (electric string bass and Sousaphone) and Nick Singer (banjo, guitar, vocals). The enjoyed every number but those we liked best were:
'Blues in Thirds', our favourite, to which we danced;
Nick's vocals 'I Get the Blues When it Rains' and 'When I leave This World Behind';
Bill's features 'Cornet Chop Suey', 'Alligator Crawl' and ''West End Blues';
'Elephant Stomp', John's Bass Sax feature;
'Si Tu Vois Ma Mere', John's clarinet feature, once recorded by Monty Sunshine as 'Lonesome';
The photograph (using a 'bright' mode on the camera) shows a rather blurred band, with Mrs Dwyer in the foreground.
