Acoustic Jass - Platform
Knowing that we were playing for a birthday party at Horsebridge
station (sadly axed by Dr Beeching) we thought the event should
be recorded and the title of this album is, I think, self explanatory!
It turned out to be a fine hot sunny June day with just enough
cooling breeze so the selection of tunes is light hearted “Happy
Music” representing a small section of our repertoire.
