The Bridge City Jazz Band has run "birthday bashes" for numerous musicians as they come on to "significant" birthdays...you know...a birthday ending in 0 or a 5....
Well we've two musos who are each 85 around mid December and we're kicking up a storm for them on Friday 14th December....
Geoff Power on trumpet/cornet, Frank Watts on piano, the regular Bridge City guys and the two specialties...Harry Harman on double bass and Jim Morrell on drums....
They'll start the night off and I'll arrange special sit-in bands for several of the sets....
We've a really big birthday cake for the two of them that we'll cut around 9pm and I've a giant birthday card for each of them, covered with photos of their lives and space inside for you to write nice things...
All we need is you there....
