Dear Robert,
I also recall that 1987 6-hour miniseries about The Majestics, but had to look up it's name: "Tutti Frutti".
At the time, I also imagined a 'trad' band version.
And immediately thought of the UK Mick Mulligan Magnolia Jazz Band, based on the events in George Melly's book "Owning Up".
Plus first hand stories told to me by two Australian members of that group, Paul Simpson (ex-London) and Ian Pearce from Hobart, Tasmania. 
Very kind regards,
Bill.
