There's 76 there. At, say, 3 minutes a tune that's 3 3/4hours without a chance to get a beer or say 'What shall we play next then?'

Amazing aren't they! And now I know you can work out the big hand and the little hand, you increase my admiration 3.75 fold!

Evenings start at 19.30 and end 23.00ish.
The trick lies in lead instrumentalists who swing straight into their next tune - there is one tea/coffee break. But there is a constant stream of visitors to the bar for bacon butties, cheese sarnies etc and liquid refreshment in the next lounge through the lobby; (and no doubt, after to the....... located in between ).
