Hi Hans en Corrie,

The picture is of the Frog Island Jazz Band based in Essex UK. The leader is 
sousaphone player Rob Fullalove, Banjo is Owen Diplock, Drums - Chris 
Marchant,  Piano -  Keith Durston, Trombone is Ray Joughin, Clarinet & reeds 
Jim Hurd with John Whitehead on trumpet completing the line-up. They 
specialise in the music of King Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton with excursions 
into the Chicago small band music of the 1920s.

A fun bunch of guys who have been together for something like 35 years. Jiom 
Hurd is the "new" kid in the band, having joined about 8 years ago.

Best

louis
