Hedsor Info Tuesday October 24th 2017
“Woke up this Mornin’ “ and
it’s Tuesday again! How quickly the need to update and inform comes around!
Last Thursday might not
have been Halloween, but it was indeed “A Hoot”!
Tracey Mendham was larger
than life this time, and Hedsor needed rescue! AND, after a 999 call, in came
our knight in armour Simon Spillett. An application by him, as he said, of
itching powder to Tracey, and musical nirvana was restored.
Simon was an unexpected
guest, and played all of the second set. The sound of 3 tenor saxes was
enormous. Impromptu “arrangements” of little know tunes did show what talented
players we have at Hedsor Jazz. Clive would have called it “grass roots”, and
would have perhaps winced once or twice, but it was a great demonstration of
sax power!
Clive Burton is now at
home, but there is a BIG BUT. He is in a hospital bed, and unable to walk. He
has a carer coming in twice a day to help him and Jan, and this is expected to
be provided for 6 weeks, after which a reassessment will take place. If he does
ever get to look at his tablet again, (yes we know you have one Clive) I hope
he reads that we all do send him our love and prayers.
Coming to Hedsor Jazz this
week we have trumpet star (almost “Trumpet Major” as he was once a military
man) coming to keep Mike Wills company on the front line. Stuart Henderson is
that man!
I will put a number of
items up on my blog this week for you to link to and download. The first links
are for MP3 files of the recording I made on my mobile phone of the session we
had with Martin Nickless and Max Brittain. If you want to make your own CD’s up
of this evening I have produced a pdf file of artwork for a cover for them.
The other link is for a
generic poster to advertise more widely the fact that Hedsor Jazz is every
week. This is again a pdf file, and if you can print and place them in a place
where the public can see them please do. Do ask permission to do this if it be
a shop or on a bit of “street furniture”.
We hope to increase our
advertising in the next few months, and have been offered some assistance in
how to do this by Brunel University. Mike Jeffries and Ian Wallis have
volunteered to be our inside men!
We do have a program
through November and December and some plans for January as well. Those of you
who do already know about Hedsor Jazz, and have enjoyed it in the past, rest
assured that we plan to continue, and please spread the news about the great
jazz we do put on EVERY THURSDAY.
Until the next blog or
until we meet again, keep jazz alive!
