For those who know what I was doing at Saffron Hall this evening:

Good-time dance music from the 1920s and 30s, with a little bit of jazz scattered in here and there.

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkUkbuxdLd4> That video is a few years old and the personnel have changed quite a bit, We had string bass instead of the sousaphone, and Mike McQuaid (Sue's favourite clarinetist who made a good job of the glissando in the intro to 'Rhapsody in Blue' and took most of the jazz solos) isn't in the video.

I arrived at 18:45 for the performance starting 19:30, and took the last disabled space available. Never seen them so full - and it was inevitably a full house inside.
