Gods of Apollo at Cambridge International Jazz Festival 2019

Well, at The University Centre wine-bar - the venue for this gig, and run by Cambridge Wine Merchants* - the race was on (as well as The Space Race evocation from Gods of Apollo) to set up the laptop and the phone to make some notes : they ended up, being made on the phone, e-mailed, opened on the laptop and copied and pasted into Twitter - at which point, the connection with real-time reporting had been lost...

In a through-in-one-sequence gig as Rob introduced (although, as a rule, he dislikes speech before the first number), preceding Armstrong's famous words, those other famous words of Mission Control : The Eagle has Landed

A sense of peace [Sea of Tranquillity], next take-off... ?

Postlude :

So, that's three gigs at @storeysfield on Sunday afternoon and evening (and closing with @BrassFunkeys), and that - as they say - would be a wrap !

[To-day was @Roblcope's Gods of Apollo (https://t.co/CnFej6Wd4b), then @MariusNeset's quintet gig, and ending up doing the merch]

End-notes :

* Also, no mean purveyors of Scotch, through their outlets on Bridge Street, Kings' Parade, etc.
