Beryl Bryden sang and played washboard with many jazz stars of the 50s and 60s.
I think that in this clip, the smoke in the club was affecting her performance.
According to Wiki: " In the 1970's she recorded the astonishing feat of becoming the only British female jazz musician to be awarded the freedom of the City of New Orleans."
Thanks for this clip, pearleking.
Any more?

There is one other clip from this video... Beryl Bryden (2) below.
Certainly the smoke didn't help Beryl (or many others!) but she had come straight from several days' in-hospital treatment and was really not at all well. But you can see the 'old stager' factor in action!

21st June 1997, and this is probably the last time that Beryl appeared in 'public'. The event was a 50th Anniversary reunion of John Haim's Jellyroll Kings, with which Beryl sometimes sang. She was accompanied here by Alan Wickham trumpet, Cy Laurie clarinet, Ray Foxley piano and John Westwood drums.
