This version of Jelly Roll Mortons Big Fat Ham was recorded at The Harp Hotel, Albrighton, Shropshire, England on Sunday, November 9th. 2008 by the Frog Island Jazz Band.
This was a another session which gave us the Frog Island version of the music of Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, The New Orleans Wanderers and others of the same era.
The members of the band are John Whitehead on trumpet, Jim Hurd on clarinet, John Jeanes on trombone, Rob Fullalove on tuba , Keith Durston on piano, Owen Diplock on banjo and Chris Marchant on drums.
There should have been more videos but my new camera soon used up the batteries and the spares were at home!
Sessions at the Harp are held every Sunday lunchtime and Tuesday evening. Details from John or Marie Howell on 01902 756158

Is this the band that I used to watch in The Mitre p/h by Blackwall Tunnel in Greenwich in the 60's?
