I forgot to mention, that Saturdays gig was for a more mature audience. Average age would have been about 75 years old. In the other function room was the Salvation Army Dinner...and yet the venue had a big burly bouncer, poised for any sign of trouble???
In our 'do' 90% of the room were sipping tonic waters and you could hear them mutter 'oooh we don't drink us old un's'
Why was it then that when the raffle was drawn and the table laden with bottles of booze went quicker than a playground full of kids running away from an approaching 8 year old Gordon Brown???
I bought a ticket and was left with the jar of Ovaltine!
Had a go at a technically difficult solo by Bill Watrous. I played it more like Bill and Ben ,but was secretly quite pleased with it. See this is a premonition as I may have to do it again with the other band who do not want it conducting? So watch this space to see how it goes (I think I know already).
