'some wild trad.' is High Society.

very nice version! love this one

Ottilie brilliant ! saw this at christmas 2yrs ago now found here, big thanx colonelhall ! anyone know which cd steamboat is on now ? Im getting into Trad jazz skiffle , its great to see and hear such great music . sent by 1964SPARKY using daughters account .

Was that Bobby Kevin on Drums? I know that he went on to play with the Ken MacIntosh big band, remember seeing him at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen, way back Very good drummer.

I like that tall bloke who is dancing by standing in one place and spinning his girlfriend round. Looks like he can't wait to get a pint!

It was Monty Sunshine. I have the same 78. He played that solo with minor variations (depending on the quantity of ale consumed) regularly around the clubs and pubs in the late 50s early 60s.

jazz will always out last any thing! you go so far then you fall into jazz and it bites you and never goes away! This is still fresh and sharp just as it was then!!! Timeless! ha haha

I am 16 and jazz is the musical love of my life, especially trad, and I get depresssed listening to modern music, it distictly lacks in variation and anything resembling a tune, however I am pleased to announce many of my friends feel the same way :)

well...as you well know....music has to advance....Presley came along and gave the kids what THEY wanted....their own brand of music...and thats what frightend the life out of parents...R`n`R was new....the big band erea was gone...then, to cap it al, some brainless person thought that listening to R`n`R made you a J.D...

the old folks would not let jazz go....the kids did not really want to hear this boreing trash...but the stuffed shirts at the Beebs attitude was...."it was good enough for us...its good enough for them"

At what point, exactly, is this boring?
