Guards Cigarettes Jazz Festival 1960s
A Memory of Bexley.
Does anybody remember going to the jazz festival at the Black Prince.
I can recall seeing trumpeter Ken Sims playing in an amateur trad band competition. He already had his own band as a pro, he asked me not to tell anyone and drop him in it. He didn’t win anyway.
Also Shorty and Them, singer was Van Morrison before he was well known, rude and nasty even then!!
I’m Tony Abel and was with my good friend Bryan Anscomb.
Our usual haunts were the Croydon Jazz club, Eel Pie Island, Ken Colyer club, Cy Lauries, Six Bell Chelsea and The Crown Morden.
We hitched down to Bexley as we had read of the festival in the Melody Maker
