This 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, vocals), Phil Brown (trombone), Peter Godfrey (keyboard, pictured), Mike Bennett (bass) and Mike Knipe (drums). Our favourite numbers with these musicians were 'I've Found a New Baby', 'Bernies Tune' and, best of all 'Stardust', to which we danced.
Guests were:
Audrey Stokes (vocals, pictured), who sang 'I Thought About You' and 'Don't get Around Much Any More';
David Clancy (drums) for 'Robin's Nest' and then with Fred Shaw, Roy Stokes and Trevor Dockerill for 'I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me';
David was replaced by Mike Knipe for 'I want a Little Girl'.
Alan Brock returned with Peter Clancy, Peter Tallent and Trevor, playing 'Exactly Like You' and 'Black and Blue', to which we danced.
The last guest was Peter Miles (vocals) who managed 'I Get a Kick Out of You' before handing out music that Peter Godfrey declared to be Crap. It was supposed to be 'Gingi' by the great Brazilian composer Jobim but it did not work.
