Lance, old chap. The trumpet player with Kenny Ball was Peter Rudeforth from the Chris Barber Band. I'm afraid all those years with the Newcastle Big Band have affected your hearing! Cheers.
Thanks Gordon and you are so right about those years with the Newcastle Big Band affecting my hearing - it came about through sitting in front of the trombone section!
Hi Lance, I'm Syd Appleton, sound tech for Kenny Ball. Val Clemens Dunmore sent me your write up of last nights gig at the Sage. Just some info for you. Ackers band Has .. Colin Wood on piano, John Day on Bass, Richie Bryant on drums, Ian Bateman on Trombone and indeed Enrico Tomaso on Trumpet. Chris had the band as per his website with the exception of Trevor Whiting on reeds in for Richard Exall. Kenny's band were ravaged with changes last night. He had Peter Rudeforth on second trumpet and due to John Bennett, Ken's trombonist and founder member of the band, being in hospital we had Roy Williams who was brought in at very short notice as our usual trombone dep Ian Bateman was on with Acker. Bobby had the drum seat insted of regular drummer Nick Millward who was also ill. Hope this was of some help and thanks for your kind write up... Syd
Nice one Lance! Sorry I missed you at the concert, - as you say there were many faces I hadn't seen for years. It's nice that the old bands can still fill a place like the Sage, - I suspect that last night might be our last chance to see them. Old age sucks!
Gordon.
