Barbican Foyer, London.  8th May 1995  afternoon

May Bank Holiday in 1995 was moved to the second Monday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.  So that's why it felt like a Sunday.  It was a mini jazz fest, I think, in the foyer of the Barbican.  Mujician were just one of several bands playing.  So there were loads of people who'd come out, sitting on the floor, kids running round.  I managed to hunker down near the piano and got this amazing cassette recording.  Enjoy.
