I can remember seeing Ken Colyer at his jazz club in the west end. On a hot summer night the walls were dripping and Ken was suitably "nourished" and played like you wouldn't believe.
@JuneBee55 Nancy and Bob had a daughter called Yancy they lived at Melton Mowbray leicestershire but I think they have both passed over now. Bob was a great pianist although you dont hear much about him.
Great to hear Ken again I was around London in the 50's and have.. only just found him on You Tube

Ken Colyer was the originator of the best English Skiffle and in his early days in the
Crane River Band played really exciting
music..I think never as good when he
returned from United States...like most
from Blighty he tried too hard to play in a
new orleans style and lost his excitement.

Bob Kelly married Nancy Whiskey - she was famous for Freight Train, which was a massive hit in the late 1950s.
