Monday 12 February 2024 - The Wabash Jazzmen at Eagley Jazz Club

Sue and I had the pleasure of attending an excellent performance by the Wabash Jazzmen, pictured above with an audience member, Carol Oldham, who provided some impromptu vocals for a couple of numbers.

The front line is Jon Critchley on trumpet, Mike Hayler on clarinet/tenor sax and Richard Slater on trombone, driven along by the flowing banjo playing of leader Mark Challinor, accompanied by the rhythmic string bass of Richard Vernon.

The band is coming up to a big anniversary, having been going for nearly 40 years. Well done them! (Although not all those pictured were in the original line up!)
