On the 8th September, The Jives Aces wisked me away to Paris, Champagne and Turnhout in Belgium for some fabulous performances. From car, ferry, then car we arrived at The Caveau de la Huchette. Little did I know that the cave before the 1500s was used by the Knights Templars and a while later The French Resistance. For all you historians check here: http://www.caveaudelahuchette.fr/1598/24102.html.
It was indeed a very hot but fabulous gig, packed in room of dancers. Early next day, we drove to the picturesque town of Champagne where we performed at The Jazzabar festival, again another wonderful and fun evening with the Jives and a very appreciative Jazz audience.
To round off the trip, we reached Turnout the next day for Radio Modern. Wow! What a show and a great sold-out audience of predominantly rockabilly fans, and over a couple of thousand at that! Yet again, with Vince’s incredible and genius acrobatic piano playing, the smooth tones of Ian's vocals and the singing of Big John's Sax, we once again brought the house down!
