If anyones in Doncaster on Sunday lunch im playing with Dennis Rollins and Pee Wee Ellis. Its at Coco Ice cocktail bar in the Market Place on Sunday, July 24 from about 2.
Im depping in the band so dont know what to expect but am really looking forward to playing with such an amazing horn section. My friend Mark Ellis is also playing and hes one of my favorite sax players. Obviously Dennis Rollins and Pee Wee Ellis are both renowned players.

Its looking like its gonna be more jazz than funk. But as Pee Wee Ellis wrote Pass the Peas, the Chicken and co wrote Cold sweat with James Brown im packing my bass guitar along with the upright :-)

Hi Monz, sorry about that. It was really late. I was there from about 12.30 but we didnt start till 3. I dont know why but im sorry you missed it.
It went really well, loads of funk and due to space i only took the electric. I was glad though as it really suited the music. Got to play the chicken and really enjoyed the gig. Great fun, I just wish every gig was as enjoyable!
cheers Geoff
