Monday 20 January 2025 - The Tame Valley Stompers at Eagley Jazz Club


It had been ages since our last jazz event, thanks to Monday evening weather causing cancellations, so it was a pleasure to be at Eagley for this excellent band and some virtuoso performances by its members.

It was the return of one of the club's most popular bands, the Tame Valley Stompers.  Their blend of excellent Jazz with often hilarious banter, ensures their popularity and a great night out for the audience!  

The line-up of the Tame Valley Stompers is:  Roger Wimpenny: Trumpet/Vocals,  Tony Denton: Clarinet and Sax,  John Moreman: Trombone,  John Gordon: Banjo/Guitar,  Phll Kampen: Bass,  Pete Silenski:  Drums.

I only took the one photo, but never mind. Roger explained that there are now two bands called 'Tame Valley Stompers', so this one will be changing its name to 'The Jazz Cardinals' before we next see them. There aren't a huge number of local bands, so for two of them to have the same name would be confusing, to say the least!

John Gordon's guitar work was particularly memorable.
