“Thanks for the photo. Sorry to hear about Pete and Micky. I joined the band after Peter was taken ill and couldn't fulfil the gigs, and was with them for many years. Great band! Love to see any more photos.”

“I also went to the thatched house if I wasn't playing. When I first went, there were three floors of jazz, the bottom floor with a band of Mu. medics called 'the gutbucket five' lol. I also went to the Sportsman on Market street, where my mate played piano with Dizzy's band. At one time there were two girls in the band, Sue McManus on banjo and Brenda - on piano. The licence closed at 9.30pm!”
