STORMY WEATHER and live jazz – 22nd March 2012
“They really don’t make them like that anymore. And you can see why.”
“Barney Bigard – eat your heart out!”
“George [Haslam, whose trio played the live jazz] I can watch and listen to forever. The film would have been perfect if kept to no more than one hour.”
“Made a song and dance of it!”
“Hope you do this again.”
“Very impressive dancing and music and some great comedy moments. Also a few cringe-inducing scenes, but highly enjoyable overall.”
“Amazing dance and song, not much plot but a lot fun, though too strident at times, especially towards the end.”
“Great blend of live jazz and film.”
“The evening was excellent and the film was good fun, but was it ‘good’ as a film?”
“What a joy to see them dancing!!”
“Most entertaining.”
“Real classic footage. Great stuff.”
“Terrific choice, let’s have some like it!”
“Wonderful film, thank you – fabulously schmoozy jazz (A*) added to the atmosphere.
More please! Terrific night out. An Arts Festival winning combination.”
“Really enjoyable film in most surprising way – I usually find musicals so strange with characters just bursting into song, but this format just showed the story in a showbiz setting and with fantastic performances throughout.”
“Fantastic! What fun.”
