Gatsby Jazz Band at the Wych Elm

On Saturday evening we went to The Wych Elm in Elm Road, Kingston Upon Thames, for the monthly performance by the Gatsby Jazz Band. Mike Adamson was back as full-time leader and banjo player with the standard musicians forming the rest of the band. Our favourite numbers were 'Breeze', sung by trombonist Bob Dwyer, and one of the band's regulars;'King of the Swingers', with trumpeter Alan Jenkins singing in fine Louis Prima voice.
The pub was quiet at first and even at peak there was room for dancing; not just us this time. Mike commented that he likes to see the bottoms wobbling.
Selina was called 'leggy girl' by another woman (Joyce); the picture shows why !
