Pump House Watford

The highly popular swingin' drummer Baby Jools will be bringing out his Jazzaholics  combo back to The Pump House again. Baby Jools is part of the new youth movement in the old school New Orleans jazz. The Gloucester musician spent much of his time as a drummer with Jim McIntosh and Max Collie, but the Jazzalholics have now been together for seven years, thereby strengthening his own leadership duties.

Line -up: Denny Ilett (trumpet); Mike Owen (trombone); Karl Hird (reeds); Brian Mellor (banjo/guitar); Jim Swinnerton (bass); Julyan 'Baby Jools' Alderidge (drums & leader)
