These Jazz Bands were great entertainment, gave the kids something worthwhile to do, learning a bit of discipline and to take a pride in themselves. How times have changed!

Oh what a great clip, sad to see juvenile jazz bands almost redundant, even those that are operational are tiny in comparison. Senior bands killed the juvenile movement. I was in Cruddas Park Chieftains and remember having friends in Amble Coquet Lights, Consett Salamanders, Chopwell Swaloows and Easington Tip Toppers..............happy days.!!!

The moorlanders are having a reunion on the 3rd Oct, any information please contact Wendy Davis (was Coatham) on facebook she'l give any info but must say it's band members of the moorlanders, but you can leave messages on the site.

The competition was in West Cornforth (Doggie). The first band on the clip was the West Cornforth Cavaliers. My mother more or less started the band. My wife (Tracy was Smith now Taylor) is the mascot second from the front. I (Glenn Taylor) was in the drum core at the back. Good close up of Drew Young, he trained the band.
