[Dixielandjazz] Roy Hubbard

[Judy Eames]

Proud Plug... why be modest?

Roy Hubbard was the excellent clarinet player with Zenith Hot Stompers 
till he moved to Spain 7 or so years ago.
He's spending a few days in the UK to play with friends and colleagues 
and Tony and I have put together a reunion band of former ZHS associates 
for a couple of gigs:
Tony Davis tpt, Paul Munnery tbn, Rachel Hayward bjo/gtr, Roger Heath 
bass, Nick Ward drums and me on songs. Tony is updating his website but 
there are one or two  ZHS tracks if you want to get a flavour of what 
might happen: www.tony-davis.co.uk

If you've got this far, apologies for the length! Things slowed down in 
September when Tony went into hospital; an infection attacked his aortic 
valve and he was there for 5 weeks while they dealt with the infection 
and replaced the valve.
Normal service is now resumed and if anyone needs a trumpet dep (sub) 
for Olympia jazz, we plan to be there despite the tumbling pound.

That's all,

Jude
