Mike Durham (tpt/vcl), Lawrence McBriarty (tmb), Barry Soulsby (clt/vcl), Brian Bennett (bjo/vcl), Brian Sibbald (bs), Fred Thompson (dms).Fred didn't sing tonight - surely a first as Fred's vocal chords are as much a part of him as his Hi-Hat. Presumably some laryngetic problem. Needless to say there were no shortage of volunteers to add their vocal talents to the ensemble.
Barry 'did' "Roses of Picardy" and "Cakewalkin' Babies Back Home"., Brian Bennett sang something about Candy Chips or was it Candy Lips? whilst Mike did "Baby Won't You Please Come Home." There were others.
There were also a few early complaints about the quality of the beer - John Smith's. Mike suggested the brewery adopted an alias...
It was eventually sorted thus enabling the clentele to carry on carousing to the growling of McBriarty Major on "Creole Love Call". His plaintive plungering was plumbing perfection. Mike too 'Bubbered' on this one with Barry 'Bigard' completing the Ducal frontline.
All in all the usual evening of fun and frivolity with a little jazz mixed in.
Lance.
