Comments:

Act One
As we enter into 2010, some words of praise for Bob, our compére without compare, are not out of place. Through feast and famine, in sickness and in health, Bob has fought the good fight to keep the show on the road and we should all be grateful for that as he takes us into the new year with "The Following Blues" and "Thunderbird".

JBOM regular, Jason, is accompanied by Beth on djemba for an untitled original and Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover".

Beth then gets to grips with the keyboard and is joined by Ashley for Grace's "Not Over Yet". It still needs a bit of work but Beth's vocals are impressive and she and Ashley gel together well towards the finish. They follow up with an improvised ditty "Beat The Winter Blues With The Bouncy Spring Bunny" (Not Really!!.). Bob describes it as cartoon music and you can't really argue with that. It's good fun nethertheless.

Chris Greenwood is steadily building a reputation on the local circuit and he opens with a new composition, possibly entitled "Oh So Near". Chris then takes us to the break with his strongest and most sophisticated effort yet, "Smooth Rivers, Stronger Spirits"
