Norman Angell, 2 March 2021. Just announced today that Chris Barber has died today aged 90. The last link with all the great British Trad bands I enjoyed watching as a young man, I am nearly 85 now. Names like Freddy Randall. Humphrey Littleton, Sid Phillips, Ken Colyer and just a bit later Acker Bilk. Who will carry on with this fantastic music we all enjoyed? Thank God we have Alexa to remind us of happy days in Tradland. Rest in Peace Chris, in my book you were top of the pile!
Brilliant! I've got tears in my eyes. My dad was a drummer in the Clyde valley stompers and Jim Mcharg's Scotsville Jazzmen. This music brings back great memories. Going out to see a 'Trad' band tonight.(in S. California) I hope they're good.
Amazing....Superb.. Phenomenal.... Chris Barber & His Jazz Band....I'm Professional Trumpet player, Bandleader of Dixie Swingers Jazz Band from Lindoia, SP-BRAZIL. I see your videos and also I have several CDs,Vynil of Chris Barber which play any themes of Chris Barber. One of my vinyls is old record with Otilie Patterson singing Saint Louis Blues. Very good Vynil. I have also one good contact with Bert Grandsma that also send your videos. Thanks for send your videos,I see all. My personal Best Regards.
Probably those who would not like to dance to fast music like this dislike the video. What a shame. Thanks again for sharing Chris barber, Monty Sunshine and colleagues.
Not a darn good time but a GREAT time and the best time of my life!. Living in Hammersmith gave me access to all the great venues. At one time, working in London, during some dinner breaks, if my memory still works properly, for I think a Shilling, which included a tiny carton of milk and an apple, the International Wool Secretariat had Trad. Jazz in their basement área, for an hour, would you believe. Brilliant to spend the afternoon back at work with that music ringing in your ears!! Happy, happy days!!

erwigfilms thanks for all you share and for those priceless insider comments. puzzled about date of Isle of Capri 1994 compared to all the others in the Chris Barber 40th Jubilee Tour which are shown as 1990 all appear to be in the same place and time - maybe 1994 is try coz it is 40 years after band formed in th 1954 ??? ULAJAZZ new boy on the block
Łza się w oku kręci jazz to jazz gdzie te piękne czasy gdzie te dziewczyny lekkie jak piórka w tańcu te końskie ogony szerokie spódnice i bluzki z dekoltem no i to co miałe na nogach nie były to szpilki . Te noce przesłuchane na jamsesion😊
erwigfilms thanks for all you share and I enjoy your inside comments and your history. I am puzzled by the Isle of Capri in the Chris Barber 40th Jubilee Tour that youstate is from 1994 but the other pieces are refered to as 1990 - they all appear to be in the same place and I suspect at the same time so is it 1990 or 1994 (1994 would be more appropriate coz it would be 40 years after the band formed in 1954) Thanks again ULAJAZZ new boy on the block
Have got an old LP of Lonny Donegone , and Chis Barber 25th year concert in. London together terrific atmosphere could have been 1990 or thereabouts what talented musicians all of them wish I had been there ii got into jazz many years ago via fellow work mate, and never looked back
So sad that Chris just passed away today. I will keep him in fond memory as a great musician.

Łza się w oku kręci jazz to jazz gdzie te piękne czasy gdzie te dziewczyny lekkie jak piórka w tańcu te końskie ogony szerokie spódnice i bluzki z dekoltem no i to co miałe na nogach nie były to szpilki .
Te noce przesłuchane na jamsesion😊
Brilliant
Monty Sunshine dopo l'assolo nel ringraziare sembra dire "roba da nulla ordinaria amministrazione" Fantastasico.
Great Musik ..!
Good...!!!
Love the drum break at 3.09
Prachtig😂
Nádhera, tá elegancia tých starých pánov popri veľkom umení....
I watched this because Gunhild Carling played a tribute to Chris Barber on her live sterem.
🎉🎉
Echt Geiiill..!

You're damned right, my friend!

Wingy Manone had a big hit with this tune and Chris did a great job also.
Monty got the idea of 'Capri' after hearing Wingy Manone's version.
Monty would always play this number.
Miss you Monty ...
'Sterling'.
Great
Op en top muzikanten prachtig
Clarinet-player: Monty Sunshine
I´m not at Capri but in Prague and is not bad !

Brilant :)

WHO TOOK THE C OUT OF RAP!
Sounds of my boyhood....and all the rest of my life!
Barber or Colyer...who to choose? They were both the best. Chris Thompson

In 2021 it is hard to believe that in 1994 such low value video was considered publishable
Are you watching pam Johnson now 82 lives in lock sheath
John j.
Are you sure this is 1994? Seems to be from the same TV broadcast as other videos, said to be 1990. Where is this from, anyone knows?
This song was first actually a Tango!
此组合的成員是否仍在？
Do you reckon they use Daz washing powder on those jackets 😁😳
