Burns Supper - 2004. A big success and great fun.

 

Burns Supper - 2004

Extract by John Gibson from The Evening News on Monday, November 26, 2007

Fond Farewell.

Gone but not forgotten. Two stalwarts of Edinburgh's jazz scene who died within weeks of each other in the autumn, saxophonist Jimmy Wood and vocalist Jimmy Gilmour, will have their lives in music commemorated on Thursday in the Thistle Hotel, Manor Place, 9pm till midnight.

Pianist Jack Finlay and drummer Kevin Dorrian have organised the event.

Says Kevin: "They had the respect of the jazz fraternity for a long time and we'll recreate some of their legendary West End resident gigs at Ryan's and Harry's bars.

We're calling it 'Jazz Remembers the Two Jimmies".
