Blue Moon Jazz Band at the Watermans Arms

On Wednesday evening we saw the Blue Moon Jazz band at the Watermans Arms, Hersham. The base band (first picture) comprised Mike Scroxton (trumpet, vocals), Roy Stokes (trombone), Alan Matravers (alto sax), John Bryant (banjo), Pete Nevard (banjo, vocals) and Aileen May (string bass). The numbers from them we particularly liked were the Pete Nevard vocals; 'Some of These Days' and 'Blues My Naughty Sweetie' plus the Tony Pile vocal 'Royal Telephone'. The first group of guests (second picture) were John Shepherd (trumpet), Mark Goodin (clarinet), Peter Clancy (trombone) and Tony Pile (banjo) playing 'Bugle Boy March' and 'Georgia On My Mind'. John Shepherd was then joined (third picture) by John Parsons (clarinet) and John Lang (trombone) for 'South' and 'Indiana'. The finale, with all musicians playing together, was better than we have come to expect. I think this was due to John Parsons taking a dominant role rather than it being a complete free-for-all.
