supplied by Brian Hills

Brian Hills… Here is pic of four of the Jazz Caverners taken at the Regent Club, Hastings showing l to r – Pete Kitcher, Trevor Richards, Brian Towers, and Ian Scriven. No date unfortunately.

John Gale… Fantastic photo. The Regent Hotel was another venue that my dad enjoyed playing drums in with his bands.

Alan Esdaile… I remember the wallpaper!

Paul Coleman… Never saw the Caverners but remember “The Unabridged Telephone Directory” with Roy Sanderson on bass. Saw them many times. Always packed & very loud. Great!

Trevor Spears… I thought our volume was tastefully balanced and gentle on the ears!

Robert Searle… Trevor, loved to have seen your group

Nick Prince… I’m sure that is the wall paper the Orion Cinema had going up it staircase to the foyer!

Mike Waghorne… Were’s Min ?

Brian Hills… here are some pics from early days in/around Hastings. The ‘Expedient Brass Band’ and the ‘Indiana Jazz Orchestra’ with Jane Griffiths doing the vocals. Trevor Richards leads his own New Orleans Trio for some time now. And that is me on saxophone.

Geoff Peckham… Fantastic! Any idea what year(s) these may have been?

Alan Esdaile… In the street photo, looks like the shop is called SMART!

Geoff Peckham… Yay! That should be your new front page, Alan!
