It was so refreshing to see a band with a style that took the audience at The Happy Frenchman by surprise. Lips dropped and pints quivered when a burst on the trumpet and shaking of maracas introduced the Saturday night band Easy Cheese.

The six piece team of talented musicians lived up to their name as smooth sounds oozed across the bar from a jamboree of instruments - trumpets, bass guitar, drums, flute, maracas and a piece of percussion which took me back to my primary school days. A ribbed wooden tube which when hit makes toad like noises.

It was fantastic. The funky sounds were unwelcomed at the start by sceptical drinkers, but a few pints later, people were pushing for dance floor space and echoes of "more" could be heard as closing time loomed.

The band were led by a female vocalist, who, despite having a good voice, was drowned out by the array of instruments taking the stage by storm.

Easy Cheese are well worth a listen for all musical tastes and ages if you fancy a change from the guitar thrashing and heavy bass sounds lining rock stages.
