New Year's Eve at Banningham!

A new venue for us! Get your dancing shoes on and see in the New Year with us at The Crown Inn, Banningham...

Dashing Desmond!

A short video of our Saturday night host, Desmond Baldry giving an incomparable rendition of .Minnie the Moocher'. None of us had ever played this before, but, with ten minutes to go, we looked up the chords on the 'net!

Our best evening ever? Well if Carlsberg made gigs...

Desmond, the larger-than-life and highly talented Lowestoft restaurateur, invited us to play for his family and friends to celebrate his 60th birthday: that's him in the white Cab Calloway suit! He joined us to give an impressive rendition of 'Minnie the Moocher' - neither he nor we had ever played the song, but, regardless, it was a show-stopper! Birthday boy Desmond painted the amazing portrait of the band that adorns the wall of the Italian restaurant.
