The Tickler’s Band were one of Sierra Leone’s top orchestras in the 1960s and 1970s. They released two 45 rpm singles on the Leonaphone label, and featured musicians such as Gerald Pino and Benson Strasser-Williams.
This session of 10 songs was recorded in Conakry in 1967. Unfortunately I could not find any photo of the band.
