Never saw them, I'm envious!!

Mrs S was a fan, having seen them a couple of times in the 80s, so when they were billed to play at one of those 'Jazz nights' at Kew Gardens she was keen to go, must have been late 90s or early noughties.  Safe to say they blew me away.  Almost unbelievably it was hard to take your eyes off August Darnell, despite the best efforts of the Coconuts.  He is one of those guys that just oozes charisma, always tipping his hat or striking a pose.  Very, very entertaining live band.

Maybe Mrs Riva would take this in return??????  Les Gens by Cyril Cyril

 

Mrs Riva was thankful, but nonchalantly informed me, “oh yeah, I’ve heard that”. Apparently Lauren Laverne plays it on her 6Music show.

I noted that it sounded like a Derek Forbes bass line, to which she responded, “well I wouldn’t know about that”, and then we then carried on with our respective days...

A simple 12bar blues . Larry Gales - bass

I used to play a lot of blues back in the day, this is a real laid back track that you might enjoy playing Dave 🙂
