On Thursday 15 May, several of us ventured out to the Pump House in support of the Watford Jazz Junction Festival; and, in the company of our dear friend "Mr Watford Jazz Entertainment The Piano Man" Alex Williams, provided an hour's recital of competition entries. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable hour and we were made very welcome by the festival organiser Chris Newstead.
