King Eddies Revival Big Band
...One Year On

For many of us, this was the first time we had recorded a CD and it was an exciting event for all.  All the band were there but for some of the songs, Duncan "the Ape" Akehurst was replaced by a friend of Mr. Meehan's, Mr. KJ O'Brien.  We spent the whole day recording first the songs and then the solos and vocals to be fitted over the top.  It was a long day but by the end of it we had an amazing extravaganza of 12 jazz, funk and slow songs.  The CD is available for a price of £7.00 from Mr. Meehan.  Full tracklist below...
