Click on to the Archive jazz in Kent & Sussex to hear what we sounded like over the years, and how good looking we all were!
I am trying to add a band or two each week from recordings  made over the years with pictures to match from venues that have ceased, or  even don't exist any more, also Burtie's Hall of fame, hear what the present and sadly the ones that have left us sounded like. I would like to add that a lot of this information would
not be possible if it was not for the references from Clive Brooks book:TRAD MAD
- a wonderful book of the concise history of the Traditional Jazz Revival in Kent -
thanks Clive.
