We have left Palm Sunday behind, and we proceed at pace on to Easter. So apart from eggs, (chocolate or decorated), I do hope you have other plans.

We do have some jazz plans for Hedsor Jazz.

For our Maundy Thursday Jazz session (April 17^th) we have some definite non attendee’s! Neither of our regular (as in never missing a beat) drummers, in the shape of Martin Hart or Mike Jeffries will be with us. In fact the only “regular” member of our band will be Ken McCarthy, although you may not recognise him, as he will by then have his new glasses! But we will welcome to Hedsor John Sergeant on drums. On bass we will have a mostly regular Al Pirrie, but fronting them all will be Duncan Lamont Jr on reeds with Mike Innes on trombone. That makes it a pretty good band for you to Maundy Thursday about. Do look up there CV’s.

But spending your £10 to check them all out at Hedsor will be an Easter bargain. OK Hedsor Bar isn’t as smart as Ronnie Scott’s, but it offers very similar great music and Rebellion Beer! (OK the beer is an, additionally paid for, option!)

Duncan and Mike on an earlier visit

 

Last week we had one of the combinations of musicians that have been pretty frequent visitors at Hedsor over recent years. Lester Brown with Mark Aston backed by Martin Hart, Ken McCarthy and Peter Hughes. Last week they played some great old tunes including “Alfie”, from the film of the same name, “Weaver of Dreams” and also “Misty”, written by Errol Garner to name but 3. “Play misty for me” became a novel and film that were both best sellers!

My pictures from the evening are below. They are free!

Once Easter is over we will again get into planning mode, because May will soon be upon us. But do be assured, we do have great Thursday Gigs in the offing already booked. All we need now is the assurance of audience! That’s down to all of YOU!

 

Do Have a Happy Easter

TTFN
