Blue Moon Band with Les Dyos

On Wednesday evening we saw the Blue Moon Jazz band at the Watermans Arms, Hersham. The base band comprised Mike Scroxton (trumpet, vocals), Les Dyos (trombone), Alan Matravers (alto sax), John Bryant (banjo), Pete Nevard (banjo, vocals) and Aileen May (string bass). The numbers we particularly liked in the first half were Pete Nevard vocals; 'Has Anybody Seen My Girl' and 'I'm Confessin', to which we danced. Roger Dobbin (washboard) joined the band for the second half, starting with 'Coney Island Washboard Blues'. The first guest was Tony Nutt (cornet), playing 'Beale Street Blues' then joined by John Parsons (clarinet) for 'Some Of These Days' before tiredness overcame us and we left. These 6 AM starts play havoc with our body clocks.
The pictures show the base band plus proof that we are not the only couple to show signs of affection. Our thanks to Maggie and Dave for the photographic opportunity.
