Concert review – Chris Jones 25th January 2022

Review  25th Jan 2022- Chris Jones

BOKC was pleased to welcome Chris Jones with his Customised Yamaha AR100 and Ketron SD40 arranger module at the first of our afternoon concerts. Our audience, the largest since the start of the pandemic seem to be approving of the performance time change introduced to avoid travelling in the dark during winter evenings attending our concerts.
The audience were presented with an afternoon of musical variety, from the 50’s to recent times. Many old favourites, medleys and singalongs. Chris made a point of introducing the music with comments on composers and contemporary events.
