We've been so busy bringing you special evenings with pukka visiting bands and/or celebs that it's actually been some time since we had a good old fashioned Spring Lane night in jam session format. Well, what a pleasure it was to welcome Gary Wood, Martins Veasey and Emeny, Roger Manwaring and Rod Kelly last night, and didn't we have fun. Gary proved again what a great leader he is from the front line, and again we heard his creative improvisations. I thought Martin V, whom we haven't seen a lot of in recent months, was on absolutley cracking form too. Rod, too, was making a welcome return and never fails to add to the entertainment quotient.
And as part of our palace of varieties presentation, we were lucky enough to have as guest sitters-in both John Ripper on baritone and Ruth Frith on vocal chords. Thanks to both of them for helping to make the evening go with a zip. We also spotted tenor man Alan Jager in the audience, but as he is still recovering from a big heart op not many weeks ago, we will just have to look forward to a toot from him when he is fully back in practice.
May I also say words of thanks to the people who gave me feed back on our price increase. Thanks for being so supportive. We are totally committed to making the club an ongoing success and by building up a little cushion in the band fund we will feel able to take the risk of bringing people like Gary from a little further afield to spice things up.
Also, thanks to the folks who have responded with info about contact points in the local schools. I'll be following those up.
