On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House Band. The line-up, as pictured, comprised Alan Brock (trumpet), Mark Aston (tenor sax, clarinet), Andrew Clancy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (bass) and Mike Knipe (drums). Our favourite number with these musicians was 'Undecided' with Alan and Mark playing well together as they had all evening.
Guests were:
Colin Lewry (keyboard) in the breaks with his classic versions of 'Satin Doll', 'Willow Weep for me', 'Pennies from Heaven', 'Georgia on my Mind', etc.;
Phil Brown (trombone)and Nick Singer (vocal) playing/singing 'When You're Smiling' with Alan Brock;
Phil Brown and Mark Aston playing 'Shiny Stockings', to which we danced with Selina wearing shiny tights as her skirt was too short for stockings;
Fred Shaw (cornet and vocal), Roy Stokes (trombone) and Nick Singer (guitar, pictured) playing 'I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me' and playing/singing 'Up a Lazy River'.
Peter Clancy and Peter Tallent (trombones) with Nick Singer playing 'All of Me' and 'Some of These Days';
Nick singing with the base band on 'Sugar'.
Fred Shaw sat with us towards the end and insisted that I write nothing bad about him on my weblog in case the Pope reads it !
