Navy Blues Quartet play at Barnes Fashion Show

The Lower Eighth Saxophone Quartet, known as the “Navy Blues” Quartet on account of them all wearing blue suits, performed a lively music set in front of a packed St Mary’s Church as part of the Barnes Charity Fashion show on 14 and 15 October.

The Quartet, which is coached by saxophone teacher Katie Brown and which has been playing together for a number of years, opened the show with a series of short items to get the audience in the mood for the catwalk extravaganza that was to follow.

This was a fantastic opportunity for some of the best musicians at St Paul’s to take their music-making out into the wider community and the Quartet seemed to be a big hit with the local residents on both nights.
