I was sent this by a musician friend, and am listening on my iPhone and when I heard the quality of the bass sound on the beginning of Woodchopper’s Ball, I was amazed! This is superb playing and recording! Thanks for sharing!
Watched Sid as a rehersal band from the very start, band consisted of members of the BBC Northern Dance Orchestra and the Granada Show Band. They rehersed a new number each week building up a book. Later they moved to another hotel to reherse, forget the name.
Sarah Gilbert. That singer has a fantastic sound, plus she sounds jazzy. Contrary to the other crooner who sounds like coming from a classic background. He sounds too oily for me, too much drama. Why did she sing only one song?
Proud of Derby then now it a right dump people in that video would be turning in their graves if they saw it today what a shame England got like this!!!!!!!!
I lived in Derby during the 1940s and remember the trolleybuses and steam trains at Friargate Station. It was a friendly and happy town with many beautiful buildings. When I came back years later I was horrified to see how things had deteriorated in the town BUT thank goodness Darley Park was unchanged and Markeaton Park was looking good too. They must be guarded against so called "improvements".
Did this series interview people in the street? Did it have an episode with a RAF pilot driving to work and looking at what he did? Flt lt Christopher Pyne was the pilot? Thanks Andrew
yes very good. but cannot get into the situation like say basie, cannot visualise say mean new york streets.theres something very mundane about the british. yes thats right includes me up to 30 yrs ago..the skills though are equal to those in US. Does anyone else feel same. Mean Salford or Chelteham streets seem to lack something.Spose thats why we found Scientology to be perfect for us till due to them it failed or is it they failed.If this session was billed as a US band I reckon I would be in a better mood, very sad.Might also be because we had US training which was lighyt years better than Uk university junk. Before you start pikin holes take a good look at selves or ask us to do it for ya
I used to listen to this in bed when I was a child - I'm now in my mid-70s. All I can say is, how did we put up with such pedestrian, not very enteratining or funny nonsense. I know that people had just been through a world war (I missed it by four years) and needed something comforting, but really? this? I listened for 5 minutes, then couldn't bear it any more...
Having been born and brought up in Derby I weep at the sorry state that the City has descended to since living memory. Today it is a filthy scruffy mess and the people of Derby along with it. Oh how we could go back to the town as it was then.
@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne Trouble is that us Brits like to travel the world and live where we like. There are around 3 million Brits in France, 2 million in Spain, half a million in both Italy and Portugal. If we look wider there are countless in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Probably 100 million worldwide. Yet we complain when a few thousand come here. Regrettably the country is changing and not necessarily for the better.
