 The bad weather this February 2009 brought havoc on the roads and several members of
BARRY MARTYN & THE YOUNG BLOODS
 were delayed in their arrival. Once a quorum (front line and piano) was present the guys played some fine swinging jazz until Barry himself hove into view and lead the community singing while the drums and other equipment were set up! Then he roared into action on the drums and a powerhouse of an evening followed!
