Paz at the Bulls Head Barnes

Paz are a Jazz Band

The Taylor's were first introduced to Paz when we happened to book the same Simply Turkey two centre holiday in the early 1990s with Geoff Castles family. Geoff is a driving force behind Paz and has written both music and lyrics for their jazz funk fusion music

Tonight's performance was another treat. Well groomed musically if not sartorially, apart from tom tom and vocal legend Frank Holders syrup, the ease with which the group knock out their catchy and intricate tunes, songs, music is just a joy.

Frank Holder is credited with helping Cleo Laine to perfect her vocal warbling. Frank is getting on a bit now, closer to 90 than to 80 he still gives a full on performance with vigorous tom tom and bongo playing interspersed with his trademark vocal gymnastics and vocal duals with Geoff Castle a talented song writer and keyboard player. The sax NAME TO BE INSERTED tonight deserves a special mention. Nice clear sound and musical. No flugal horn on this occasion or backing singers but for all that they add when they are present they were not missed tonight. 8/10
