It is Friday!

The Freddie Garner Quartet featuring the awesome Freddie on key boards whose fingers are a blur, Jim Collins on sax with his powerful and brilliant solos.  Backing them were Phil Bennett on drums and Gary Coulshaw on bass.

One of the best groups that come to Burgundy's and especially on a stormy night like last night with Freddie driving up from Stockport, Jim from the Peak District, Gary from Preston and Phil ?

I have so much enjoyed sketching these two over the years  - almost enough for an exhibition.  Below is the journey of them ageing and my style evolving !!!!

Freddie told me that he has one of my sketches on top of his keyboard at home along side a mug with a sketch of him that I gave him last xmas - what more does a poor artist
need to hear!.
