Graeme Hewitt’s High Society Jazz Band | Theale
This date is going to be very special. Joining Graeme will be the incredible Ben Cummings on trumpet – Ben not only has a strange resemblance to Kenny Ball but for three years while Ken was in need of a bit of back-up, due to health issues, Ben supported him and his band during that time and acquired much of the Ball repertoire – which he brings to Theale. His last visit ended with a standing ovation, such was his contribution.
This next visit has an even greater attraction in that Ben is accompanied by his wife, Lizzie Newberry, herself a great entertainer, and the session is due to be a sell out. As a great friend of Graeme’s, Acker Bilk would say, “Stand by your bed with your boots in your hand – this is going to be special”
