I've just heard the sad news of the passing of Tony Haynes. Pianist, trombonist and leader of the Grand Union Orchestra I have fond memories of hearing the GUO at the Customs House in South Shields back in 2008.
I was impressed - LINK.
For the moment I have no more information apart from the memory of that wonderful concert. I'm devastated that, somewhere along the line my photos vanished.
Sadly missed.

I saw Grand Union at jazz festivals and the first time a very young Courtney Pine was in the band and like you Lance I had some great photos but they got lost over time.
