.. Ken always sounded so 'authentic'...

Often rubbed shoulders with Ken in the pub opposite his club - 51 Club In Soho's London. All night sessions there were great. Down the narrow stairs to a little cafe and dance room where the band played. Tiny place. Good job there was never a fire!!

I played this 78 over and over and over again that it went white with wear!! Is that a mandolin backing?

I REMEMBER THE BIRMINGHAM DAYS AT THE CENTRAL JAZZ CLUB MY BROTHER RAN THE CLUB. DON'T FOR GET THE MIDLAND GREAT DAYS.

Can you tell me anything about this song? Altho' there are lots of recordings about Stackolee, none are anything like Colyer's version. I first heard this on a jukebox on Raf Compton Bassett in 56-58 doing my national service - been singing it ever since

I remember those days late 50s/6os in jazz clubs Birmingham great days.😊😊

Jazz great !!! what a revelation for us when we heard it in the 50's I am no 83 and love to listen to to almost every day a way of life thanks so much for these

What can we say we were so lucky to be there at that time and can still relate to it almost every day 🧎😎

Great the start of proper music to listen to and take part in, in UK

Excellent Music then and now forever

What a voice he had, by god the man could sing. .

Nezaboravniot Ken; eden od gollemata slavna cetvorka na tradicionalniot britanski dixiland. Golem e negovi😊ot tvorecki opus. Toj ke bese uste pogolem, no zal 😊odamna go nema megju nas. Negovoto delo ke zivee vecno. Dusan Stojanovski

Just uploaded a recording of Bob Kellys last Phoenix Arts Piano Party from 1990 onto You Tube . Just search for ‘ Bob Kelly’s Last Piano Party 1990 ‘

I think Danny Pawson was the nearest to a real NO trumpet player. His band played a wide range of music but always in the NO style. Sadly missed.

Thank you Ken. The Guv'nor.1955

Ken a great player , soon as I heard the clarinet I said to myself he's good , then I checked who it was Ian Wheeler , god he had a long run with Chris

Just celebrated my 80th birthday with all my relatives and now today playing it after the most amazing spectacular send off to Her Majesty which left me in tears. I now feel such a loss as Her Majesty has joined her relatives in Heaven. Life will never be the same; now she has gone.

Great tune, What station is this?

THE iconic skiffle group, I found their records in the mid ‘50s and have been a fan ever since.

I love skiffle,

Playing this and it is still magical.

Poor sound sadly

great tracks with hypnotising documents of british times long passed ... bless you for the upload

Ken WAS the "Guvnor " any band he played with just shone

Ken Colyer was one of the very few British jazzmen who understood and (with his band) always played jazz in the original New Orleans style. He was often referred to as "The Guvnor".

Me encanta esta versión .

Bought this 78 in the 50's when I was 15. The first record I ever bought. Played it non stop. Thanks to you tube can now play it again now i'm 76 and I still love it. Don't know what happened to my old Dansett record player or my long golden plaits which I had at the time.

The Sir Nigel Gresley featured in this clip, I saw recently in the Bluebell railways loco shed!
