Monday 11 Dec 23 For our first Christmas party at the new Brentford FC Community Trust space we were treated to 7 excellent musicians coming together for Bob Dwyer’s Bix & Pieces. There was a great turn-out, lots of free mince pies and edible treats and a bumper raffle, which helps raise money to pay the band. Some favourite tunes were I can’t believe that I’m in love with you, composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Clarence Gaskill, 1926; Baby won’t you please come home, Bessie Smith, 1923, with Bob on vocals; and New Orleans, Hoagy Carmichael, 1932.
Trombone – Bob Dwyer
Susaphone – Mark Easener
Trumpet/Cornet – Magic Mike Henry
Drums – Graham Collicott
Clarinet – David Horniblow
Saxaphone – Richard Exall
Keboards – Graham Barton
Griffin Park Jazz Club will continue next year on the 2nd Monday of each month. Tickets £10, doors open 8pm and music starts from 8.30 til 10.30pm. Next month we welcome Sarah Spencer and her Transatlantic Band. At the moment it’s still bring your own alcohol if you like, and some soft drinks and snacks are available to buy at a cheap price, there’s also free tea and coffee supplied by the Community Trust. Everyone is very welcome.
