Jazz in the rain.

Tony Regan, music historian, dj and keyboard player supremo gave a talk tonight at St John’s Church Hall next to Matalan in High Rd Leytonstone, E11. Tony used his vintage gramophone (wind-up HMV stylee), a pack of old 78s in their original scruffy brown covers and a whole heap of knowledge and passion to illustrate the journey of record-making from 1921 to 1951. We had a treat with original recordings by famous bands of yore.

What I pondered was that all over the country there are church halls peopled by groups of enthusiasts, cups of tea and sliced cake. Outside the rain would not give up.
