Just found this old thread and couldn`t believe nobody had mentioned the
Merseysippi Jazz Band. They are still playing now. I saw them in 1956 at the
Liverpool Stadium on the same bill as the great Louis Armstrong and his Allstars. It cost me £1/5s and that was to stand up at the back of the arena.

"Mojo Filter"....oh yaeahhhh, good music!! I loved the guys!
I must confess I miss "Frank goes to Hollywood"!The tragic fate of Holly Johnson! :-(

Ahhhhh Colin Vearncombe aka Black.....he is a great musician and a nice fella. He left Liverpool many years ago and is now living in West Cork. Last time I have seen him was in 2004 live on stage in the Stanley Theatre.
