Stand overboard at Henley Regatta

Bassically Saxes recently played aboard the impressive ‘Alaska’ Thames river cruiser (the oldest working steamer on the Thames, which is part of the National Historic Fleet) at an event hosted by our sponsor, space-pod at the world famous Henley Regatta.

The day got off to a wet start as band member Jean dropped her saxophone stand overboard, much to the amusement of all on-board and other passing vessels.

However the "band played on" and it proved to be a terrific day for the guests and staff of space-pod and also for the band.
