October 2005

I can't believe we've reached 15 years of doing this jazz gig. These days it seems to be very rare for jazz residencies to last too long, so I'd like to thank everyone that's been involved, including musicians, pub management and staff, and of course, all the jazz fans who come along every week. Particular mention must go to Richard Cardwell who started the gig with me and helped run it for the first few years. I've attempted to construct some kind of list of all the musicians who have appeared at Boaters, in one form or another, over the last 15 years. Apologies to those I might have forgotten but my thanks go to all of them for helping to make this gig such a great success.
