UGH with Bernie Holden and Eddie Kettle

This evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House Band. The line-up comprised Alan Brock (trumpet), Bernie Holden (alto sax, clarinet, pictured), Alan Dandy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (bass) and Eddie Kettle (drums, in background of picture).
Our favourite numbers with this line-up were:
'My Romance' by Richard Rodgers, to which we danced;
'Tea For Two' composed by Vincent Millie Youmans, reminding me of Tommy Dorsey's 'Tea For Two Cha Cha' to which I danced in 1960 with my then dance partner Margaret, who did not fancy me;
Alan Dandy's beautiful feature 'Here Comes That Rainy Day', about which I know nothing.
Guests were:
Fred Shaw (cornet), Trevor Dockerill (clarinet) and Roy Stokes (trombone), playing 'Hindustan' and, with Fred singing, 'Up a Lazy River';
John Shepherd (pocket trumpet), playing 'C'est Magnifique' and 'Paper Moon';
Roland (tenor sax) and Peter Tallent (trombone) playing 'All of Me' and 'Black and Blue'.
Colin Lewry played keyboard during the break.
