Sparked a Memory for you?

I remember the 1980's & early 1990's when Tony & Lorna Marsh the Peacock Inn's owners had jazz bands playing in the back bar on Friday evenings . I snapped some photos of Stan Tracey sitting on telephone directories to gain the best height to play an old upright piano. It was party night every Friday and the audience came from quite a distance to enjoy the evening.
