Back in 1986 there was a crit (criterium for the non-cyclist) around Newcastle City Centre and, as was often the case, a jazz group was entertaining the crowds in between laps - sheltered from the rain in one of the entrances to Eldon Square.

The drummer looks like Ernie Jackson to me.
Hi Lance I believe the Trombone player may be Mike Carton. Who was active in the area about that time 1980,s
I agree with Gordon Solomon that is Ernie Jackson on the drums.
Kindest regards Raymond Newton Double Bass/ Bass Guitar/ Cello
The chap that Syd appears to be talking to is, I think, Terry Morgan.
Of course! Terry Morgan - how could I have forgotten Terry's name. I used to confuse him with Terry Milligan. To paraphrase a song, It's Easy to Forget and so Hard to Remember!
Indeed , twas I on the trombone
Sadly some of the guys on the photo are no longer with us
I'm living and playing in the States these past 20 years ----talk aboot coals to Newcastle !!Love to all the usual suspects in the North-East . I'm planning on returning in the not too far distant future
Mike Carton
