This evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House Band. The line-up comprised Alan Brock (trumpet, vocals, just in picture), Les Dyos (trombone, pictured), Roger Limb (bass, pictured), Andrew Clancy (keyboard) and Mike Knipe (drums). This base band started the evening in fine style with a string of great numbers such as:
'Rosetta', 'Sugar' and 'Some of These Days', the last of these with Alan doing the Sophie Tucker vocal.
Guests were in three groups:
1) Colin Kingwell (trombone) and Trevor Dockerill (clarinet), playing 'Should I Reveal' and 'I want a Little Girl';
2) Roland, Roy Stokes and Peter Tallent playing 'Disorder at the Border' and 'Exactly Like You';
3) Peter Clancy duetting with Les on trombones for 'Sweet Sue' and 'Sleepy Time Down South'.
We created some amusement by telling both Colin & Joan Kingwell and Peter & Jan Tallent about fellow trombonist Dave Hewett asking me to send Selina along to the Warlingham Jazz Club without me because they lack a leg show. For this evening at the Europa Selina wore a slightly longer skirt than usual, thus allowing for stockings and suspenders.
