Jazz or blues

**Gleber2** · 27-Jul-07, 16:12

Anyone who is interested in playing jazz or blues at an open mike situation should come to The Y Not on the 4th August for the Derek Mosedale Memorial Bash. Particularly interested in trad players. All proceeds go to Oxfam.

I'm off to see the Jacques Loussier Trio on Monday. If he's got a day off on the 4th, I'll be sure to send him up on the Inverness-Thurso train.

Well not having a middle initial I will take the liberty of choosing my own middle name from the list and be Hollerin Liver Hopkins.

What would your middle name be Boney Davies?

Y Not is a bar and grill accross from the Co-op. Open mike means that audience members can perform. Derek had a lot of musician friends and we hope that a fair number will turn up.

Is that in the car park then Chobbers? (Ooops sorry!!!)

The Y Not (dreadful name it has to be said) used to be called the "Redwood" ajoined at the hip to the "Grove Lounge Bar".
