I can't help with other details, but just thought I'd say that I like the fact that Jimmy Edwards is wearing his 'Whack-O' mortar board! Didn't know he played the tuba though!
In the second Betty Smith photo, the bass player is Betty’s husband, Jack Peberdy. I worked with them both on the boats in 1979 - by that stage, Jack was no longer the bass player, but was arranger and MD - a great musician!
