Sue and I enjoyed an excellent performance from The Wabash Jazzmen, a popular band that plays mainly in a traditional New Orleans style, but they also incorporate occasional blues, skiffle, gospel and contemporary tunes into their programme. The band is led by banjo virtuoso Mark Challinor, with the front line of Jon Critchley on trumpet, Mike Hayler on clarinet/tenor sax, Richard Slater on trombone and Howard Worthington on double bass.
During the evening, Mark proudly introduced his 'slide guitar', a silvery monster that 'twangs' to the joy of his grandchildren. Howard accompanied him for a lovely number using this guitar.
