The Purple Suited Mopomosomocktail
Treat yourself to some black grape soda, pour it onto some ice into your favourite glass, add a splash of ginger ale and garnish it with a slice of lime and black grapes, if you prefer it with alcohol, add a dash of vodka and use a ginger liqueur instead.

Hexapod (in memory of Keith Tippett)
Hard Edges - Chris Dowding (trumpet & flugelhorn)
Dave Amis (trombone)
Ben Higham (tuba & flugelhorn)
Chris Dowding writes:-
‘Based in Norwich, which I guess is the main thing. Individually, we’ve played with various musicians. I play in the quartet Rude 2.0 with trombonist Annie Whitehead, trombonist Dave Amis played in several of Keith Tippett’s groups, including Centipede, and Ben Higham worked with drummer John Stevens.
Actually, the piece I’ve sent has Ben and I on flugelhorns, and Dave on trombone, as you’ll hear. Amongst other activity, Ben and I co-run a jazz night called Camouflage in Norwich, and I also play in Ben’s brass octet The Brass Monkeys, which has recently performed at Pizza Express several times’.
