Rachel Hamilton is a great lady and mother to three lovely children and a super jazz pianist to boot...
So we in the Bridge City Jazz Band are really pleased to organise a 40th Birthday Bash at  for her at Club Ashfield this coming Friday 27th November 2015 with Paul Furniss on soprano sax lead and Jim Morrell on drums, both who have played in groups with Rachel over the years...as have the regular Bridge City JB members, Colin Beal on reeds, Colin Davies on double bass, John Bates on trombone/vocals and myself Dennis Quinlan on banjo....
As usual we'll have selected sit-ins with visiting musos, a great big A3 birthday card with photos of her family and musical life and a big birthday cake to celebrate with on the night....
All we need is your support......
