Ian Christensen played the Clarinet, Dave Drummond played the Cornet, Jack Pretty played the Double Bass and Pete Barker was on Drums. If you wish to see a Youtube video of some of the performance click on this text. Remember if you have a slow connection or computer the videos will be jumpy and keep pausing. This is called "buffering" if you have this problem. I suggest that you click on the pause button in the bottom left hand of the picture (a square with 2 vertical lines). Then go and do something for about 8 minutes. When you come back click on the arrow at he bottom left of the picture, the video should now play smoothly.
IMPORTANT
Please do not forget to bring a long to the Christmas Dinner at
the Elizabethan one of your CD's that you do not play any more. These are to
help with Alan's fund raising.
