Urban Gin House with Roger Limb & Mike Byrne

On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House Band. The line-up comprised Alan Brock (trumpet, vocals), Mike Byrne (trombone), Roger Limb (keyboard), Mike Bennett (bass) and Mike Knipe (drums). Our favourite numbers with these musicians were:
'If I Had You', to which we danced;
'Tin Roof Blues', with Alan Brock vocal;
'At The Jazz Band Ball'.
Guests were:
John Shepherd (pocket trumpet) playing 'I Cover The Waterfront' and 'Cheek to Cheek';
Peter Clancy and Roy Stokes (trombones) playing 'Some of These Days' and 'Tishomingo Blues', then, with Mike Byrne and Aileen May (bass) but without Alan, 'The World is Waiting for the Sunrise'.
Colin Lewry played keyboard in the breaks.
Best of all was Roger's feature, requested by Mary Stokes, 'Misty'.
We were surprised to see Thursday regular Pat at the Europa, having never seen her anywhere but the Berrylands, obviously known by everyone. It transpires that she lives nearby.
