| Notes / History | These young men were amongst the musicians taking part in a talent competition organised by the St. Helier Jazz Group, at the British Legion Hall, Newminster Road, Morden. Pictured here are Roy Pursey, Victor Spinks, Alan Edward Rust and Frank Tomes. This era witnessed the rise of skiffle music and rock ‘n roll – one wonders whether these youngsters progressed any further with their music. |
