Julie Dunn opens at the Alex

Last night we managed to get to Julie Dunn's opening jazz night at the Alex in Yeovil. Julie was using the occasion to launch her new CD (as featured in this months Suited and Booted). It turned out to be a busy evening, with staffers from both Ivel FM and the Western Gazette also there and mixing it with the jazz fans.

Although prior to performing Julie seemed more than a little nervous, the performance was fantastic. She and the band played both tracks from the new album and some that had not made it on. Every one who was there seemed to enjoying the music, it was a great result for an opening night.

The Alex has had something of a makeover recently and now sports some wood panelled walls giving it a warmer look. (The acoustics seem to work out fine as well.)

We managed to grab a couple of pictures whilst there and yes Julie really is playing whilst sat under the stairs!
