The 'Brolly Parade'.

Sunday 9th December saw something new for the Monty Jazz Club in Newtown, Powys when we staged our first Brolly Parade competition. To the accompaniment of 'The Southern Sounds Jazzmen' playing 'The Saints' our Brolly holders came 'Marching in'. Various designs were paraded and eventually a prize was awarded. But all competitors deserved first prize for getting involved, having fun and providing entertainment for the audience of 50 loyal jazzers. Congratulations!

Sunday 2nd December and here we are on the 'Howlta' Train heading south from Shrewsbury to Llandrindod Wells. It was Jazz all the way! If you fancy a train trip into the heart of Wales, accompanied by live music, this is the train to catch. Left to right: Jeff Matthews: Clarinet, Dave Margaroni: Trombone, Michael Morris: Bass, Matt Saunders: Banjo. We called ourselves, 'The Dixie Jazz Four' - portable jazz fun!
