I’m often asked what sort of music we do, and I say ‘swing’ – but that’s not the whole story. We’re rather precise with our period – and although Mack the Knife is indeed older (originally 1928) we stick to our guns with this!
That’s not to say that we would refuse to perform a couples’ favourite tune for their First Dance at their wedding for example, that’s different, and special!
But we’re not looking to be a ‘covers’ band, doing watered down versions of Lennon and McCartney – that’s just not us!
Ben had to leave us because of his new job, but as our new drummer, Simon, has commitments this weekend, lovely Ben has stepped back into the breach to help us out at our gig this Saturday – good man!
How exciting! It should be a good do, with such a great audience…I hope they all bring their dancing shoes….!
We have a keyboard player, at last! Adam came along last night and fitted in really well – it was so nice to hear those piano parts we’d not heard for about a year, since lovely Emma left us…like all those twiddly bits in ‘The Way you Look Tonight’!
We had our room 10 Christmas dinner last night, and presented Joël with a goodbye gift – Ailsa made a little souvenir version of our music stand banners. Cute!
