Mostly ghostly

The Jay Spectre, like Organ Eyes, were unlike the other bands on the bill. They're also unlike most of the bands I go out to see, being a sort of funky reggae pop band with some soul and folk lashings added in. Pretty capable performers, though,

From left to right we've got Paul Turley on bass; Mike Field on trumpet, a mostly concealed Jeremy Drury on drums, James Oliver on acoustic guitar and most of the singing and Jon Hembrey on guitar and other singing ... not around for this shindig were flautist Katherine Watson, percussionist Sean Seagal and Dean Yates on bone.



Mike comes to blows.



James and Jon singalong!



Someone's doing something funny over there. I forget what.



Jeremy unconcealed.



Paul on the low end from down low.



They'll be playing March 28 at Cafe Ole in Pembroke.

• Show reminder: Speaking of free Zaphod Beeblebrox showcases, there's a good one on tonight, with the Peter Voith Trio, Eric Vieweg and Silver Creek. Hotshot Casino and Willis Pride play The Rainbow.
