KEITH NICHOLS ALL STAR BAND Keith Nichols - Outstanding on piano, good on vocals. Spats Langham - Arguably this country's finest banjo player. Norman Fields - Brilliant on clarinet and sax in all early styles. Nick Ward - Terrific vintage style drummer - light style. Richard Vernon - Very fluid bass player ex Tommy Burton's Band. Alan Duckles - Guest cornet player - very valuable contribution, talented too. This band is with us for the 11th time and is always a big hit. The roaring 20's revisited. This is 'white jazz' as played for the largely white audiences in posh nightspots and demands lots of talent. BOOK EARLY
Highly entertaining 7 piece band based in Morecambe. The band was formed
nearly two years ago from established musicians, some already familiar to us a Roa Island. They find themselves very busy in the North West playing music from the jazz era New Orleans and Chicago, swing and vo-de-o-do from the Thirties, and music from Broadway Musicals and Hollywood films. Star vocalist Jan
Stirling.
