On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House jazz band. The quintet comprised Alan Brock (trumpet and vocals) Andrew Clancy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (string bass), Mike Knipe (drums) and special guest Clive Burton (trombone). The guests from the audience were Colin Lewry (keyboard), John Shepherd (pocket trumpet), Fred Shaw (cornet), Peter Talent (slide trombone) and Peter Clancy (slide trombone and string bass). We enjoyed 'I Cover the Waterfront', Fred's vocal 'Kiss to Build a Dream On and, best of all, Clive's feature 'Skylark', to which we danced.
Derek from Oban appeared once more and amused us with the story of his first marriage break-up. At least he can laugh about it now.
The first picture shows the base band with Selina in the foreground and Derek just in the bottom left corner. The second picture shows Colin playing in the break.
