THE MUSIC PAGES

My interests in music are varied. All types of jazz, much old and more recent pop, classical - esepcially piano but not opera! Pre-war dance band music (British and American) is a joy, particularly now that there are so many good quality re-issues on CD around. This section will contain various aspects of these musical interests.

I collect vintage 9.5mm (mostly Pathe) films; a number of UK dance band items ended up on this 9.5mm gauge, both shorts and a few feature films (mostly shortened), but all now quite nostalgic.

Because of my interest in British musical films and dance bands, I happened on the attractive American singer Evelyn Dall, who sang with the Ambrose Band before the war.

The giant French based Pathé organisation didn't just make films & run cinemas (not to mention their amateur 9.5mm film business!) - they began with music and the phonograph. Here's a story of two brothers & the beginning of great things.
