Hello It is Ray Shenton here. How nice to read your article on the formation of the River City Jazzmen. It certainly brought back memories. My tuba has more leaks than Wales so I now play the piano and harmonica with some of the boys about twice a year. Come to Great Whittington Jazz picnic on 8th August 2010 from noon to 3pm for a trip down memory lane
This is Joe Shenton here and I will be specially flying in from America for that gig! My agent will contact you for further details. Good luck for the day!
hello Joe, If you are flying in to Bardon Mill watch for a winedy runway with potholes. You might be better off on the one near the Roman Wall as it's a bit straighter. Looking forward to seeing you at Great Whittington on 8th August for what is promising to be a gig to remember
Hi I am Colin Hopper's(Banjo) son Brian who sadly passed away in 2007. Its good to see that Ray continues to have the gig's at Great Whittington. I know my dad really enjoyed them. Since he passed away I have been looking into history of the band. I have found the site very informative and interesting. To see that the band continues after 50 years is great testiment to the orginal members!!!!
Hi this is Harry stephensons daughter dawn my dad showed me his photos of the band and I think they are amazing he still loves playing his clarinet and guitar and his mouth organ �� ���� what he first started with he is 84 now and to see this and read this is truly amazing, yous have all done brilliant and done the north east town proud �� it’s just so awesome to see this and all them years ago, I’ve showed my 2 daughters and my grandson, my dad gave his great grandson a harmonica of his he’s 9 yrs old so may be he might follow in the footsteps off his great grandfather ! And a great jazz band ����
