Jazz show was Ferry nice

Sir, – Last Wednesday evening I was privileged to attend a jazz concert at the Post Office Bar in Broughty Ferry.

This was to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the East Coast Jazzmen.

A great night, ably compèred by Ron Elder, with the highlights being guests Walt Smith of Havana Swing, who gave a rendition of Poor Butterfly, and the incredible singing of Yvonne Robb, veteran vocalist of Storyville All Stars who contributed Down by the Riverside and Blueberry Hill to a standing ovation.

Yvonne is over 90 and still possesses a quite wonderful voice.

The capacity audience was treated to a superb evening of traditional jazz which included a rendition of the original hit for East Coast Jazzmen the Piper o’ Dundee, introduced by Andi Lothian.

A special tribute is due to Dave Fimister who has been the band trumpeter since its inception.

Long may the East Coast Jazzmen keep up the good work.

Avril Simpson. Field Studio, Welton Corner, Forfar. members’ moneys, should be quickest off the mark to dole out cash to the owners.

I would like to hear just what unions will pledge to their members in the possible event of closure at Michelin.

It would ease a lot of burdens in a lot of homes in Dundee.
