Those blue and pink lights reflected on Jack's shades make him look like an alien

The band was resurrected as a jazz trio - minus percussions and with a different guitarist - for the Ealing Jazz Festival on 29 July 2017, and a great time was had by all.

This was before we started setting up, and before the public was allowed in.

One day I would like to see a pic of Jack actually Happy .......or at least grimacing in a smiley type way

[Silvia Bluejay]

He was concentrating - he had a lot more to do than usual.

[Happy Jack]

Yup, I look at photos of myself on stage and I invariably look grim and miserable.

I have NO IDEA WHY. Actually I was having a great time, the sound guy had got my bass exactly right, and I was playing well.

You wouldn't believe it from the photos, would you?
