Bev Pegg: Ha, ha, yee ha!

Coo! Wot a nite!!

From the stunning violin work of Pete Hartley (why oh why haven'y we seen him before!!??) to the guitar, vocals and jokals of that nice Mr Pegg, we were treated to a helluva good evening.And not forgetting Harry Rowlands and Ken Wright, without whom etc etc.

Pete H has brought a strong and wholly welcome flavour of bluegrass music to this lineup, and with a great choice of numbers to match, the band were terrific. Speaking as a guitarist, I'd also like to say that Bev himself played some absolutely cracking solos last night in between the rest of his hard work.

We had a packed house (a compliment to Bev's previous visits) and from my perch at the bar I could see the good time they were having. Yet again, the Abbey Jazz audience demonstrated that it will embrace every kind of music that's good music.

Thanks Bev, and thanks People!
