We had our first gig Sept. 19, and it was GREAT to be back together.  More to come!

(WOW!  Originally, we were intending to have a “couple of gigs” for old time’s sake, but the interest from club-owners has been overwhelming, so much so that we’ve had to hire another sax player to do most of the gigs!!!  (I just can’t come up to London that often…) )

Keep checking here for details.
