old news28th October 2004That was the Cork Jazz Festival, that was. Eight years after The Ben Waters Band’s debut in Cork in the front bar of the Imperial Hotel, we made it to the dizzy heights of the number one stage at the Metropole Hotel, about the best festival slot you can get without being a USA jazz legend or suchlike. Our gigs on Saturday and Sunday night were rapturously, nay bonkersly received by the Cork crowd. Ben, Ady and myself recorded a new original song, the intriguingly-entitled ‘Alcoholic’, in Ben’s back room immediately before the festival, and performed it on both nights – it went down a storm. I feel a hit coming on! Little Dixie perform at the Ropemakers, West Street, Bridport on Friday 29th October, with Barney taking to the drums in Ady’s absence. As usual, the jam sessions continue at Finns, Westham Road, Weymouth, Dorset. If you want to play, contact me or just turn up before 9 pm and book yourself a slot. Chris Lonergan |
