However, I still have the programme and when I checked it was deffo RFH. The tour finished at the Granada cinemas in Tooting and Walthamstow. I did see JATP at Hammersmith.<br /><br />Incidentally, the programme has an advert for the Marquee Club featuring all the usual suspects plus Michael Garrick.

I understand it was Ronnie Ross who organised the British contingent. Great memories.<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />HarryHarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722215795770816193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890708154880054256.post-80886144922256019922019-07-03T12:41:38.343+01:002019-07-03T12:41:38.343+01:001959 - the Woody Herman Anglo-American Herd at the...1959 - the Woody Herman Anglo-American Herd at the Royal Festival Hall.

Many a memorable night at the Flamingo ...Hi Lance,<br /><br />Many a memorable night at the Flamingo with many of the top names appearing - some I can still remember are the Ronnie Scott nine piece, The Jazz Couriers with Ronnie and Tubby, The Johnny Dankworth Orchestra with Cleo Laine - spine tingling session, the Jazz Makers with Alan Ganley and Ronnie Ross, the Jazz Five with Vic Ash and Harry Klein, the Tony Kinsey group with Joe Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722215795770816193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890708154880054256.post-67268486756895316152019-07-02T22:13:43.338+01:002019-07-02T22:13:43.338+01:00Yes, those were the days Harry - who knows, we may...Yes, those were the days Harry - who knows, we may have been at the same gigs or had a pint at the pub opposite the Flamingo, or the one around the corner from the 100 Club!

I don't think there are many of us left who still remember the great sessions at The Flamingo and the 100 Club.<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />Harry MontyHarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722215795770816193noreply@blogger.com
