The Bear & Key Jazz Club,
50th Anniversary Reunion
at St. Mary's Hall, Whitstable,
Kent, 13th Jan 2007
What a great
evening with the
Bill Barnacle's Jazz Band and some old members of the
Tishomingo
Jazz Band (1957 - 1962), Dave Bone, Hal Jones, Eddie
Goodwin
Mo Hovery, Sean Maple, Roy Gaston-Williams, Brian Higenbottam
and Doug Inkpen putting together the New Tishomingo
Jazz Band.
All made possible by the hard and dedicated work
of Dave Bone
so have a look at the
photos and movies for the atmosphere of the evening. I might add
the evening was a total sell out, it was
rumoured that tickets were selling on e-bay for five
times their value - well done Dave, and it's
rumoured another evening, around
Friday 26th October 2007 at the
Marine Hotel, Tankerton , Whitstable, Kent.
