[Dixielandjazz] Featherstonehaugh

[Ivor Jones]

Sorry Pat, It's GOLD as in Goldberg.

I remember them with affection, with Harry was his brother Laurie, Ivor 
Mairants, Geoff Love and Les Lambert. I can't remember the other three.
On national service in the RAF a celebration of some sort was held in one of 
the hangers and the band that played was the 'Pieces of Eight.' One of my 
better
memories.

Ivor
