This is from a TV programme from twenty years ago - an hour long and worth having. I recorded it from air ten years ago. i.e. 'Whatever Happened To Bill Brunskill'. I hear that Bill died a few years back but I was lucky to see him and his band at Cottingham.

I also knew them both. In fact, I was there, in London in 1953 when Ken came back from New Orleans and they rehearsed his Jazz Men band. When they played their first gigs, in Denmark, I was also there--with my B&O recorder (The Tempo and Storyville sides. I don't recall a rift, but I guess that came later

Hi Pirate,

I knew Ken, he was a very principled and outspoken fellow, but had a golden heart. I think they went their own way for the better. You know the results.

1. I just twigged that you are hans' brother?

2. Sorry for the repetition of this video but I just added one with the rest of the story - including Chris Barber's views.

I'm still a fan of you both! Al
