[Dixielandjazz] Unashamed Plug: UK Jazz Festival News and new video on YouTube

[Marek Boym]

Hello John,
What a wonderful player, Cuff Billet!

Browsing through my CDs, I came across "Live and Swinging!" - Kenny
Davern with John Petters and the Swing band.  I remebered the
excellent CD, but not that it was with your band
Your festivals sure look tempting, but I don't unfortunately think
I'll be able to attend.

Cheers!
