Last Friday, 22nd January, was a sell-out for the Limehouse Jazz Band, on tour from Holland. Their last appearance at Farnborough was in February 2008. Many faces from the past turned up, as well as our regulars and not-so-regulars, so perhaps you all remembered that night, or have encountered the “Limers” elsewhere. There were so many happy faces and the dance floor was well used too. Thank you to one and all, it was nice for the band members to have a full house. Robert Duis, the band leader, was once again full of fun. Everyone enjoyed the banter, especially his remark “stupid club” (always a compliment to be made fun of in such a way)! We hope they will come back to play for us again soon. Robert has an ambition to play at the famous 100 Club as he remembers, as a youth, seeing the performance of Humphrey Littleton there. We certainly recommend the band, so if the 100 Club book them, please make a point of going, it would give Robert such a buzz.
For band line-up – see next week’s newsletter.
You are in for another great treat this coming Friday, 29 January, none other than Barry Grommet’s New Orleans Heat, a huge favourite of the club’s fans , so get there early, as we do have some reserved tables for long term ‘every week’ attendees).
Again, looking forward to seeing you for another great evening of jazz.
Diane & Keith.
