Using the SA80s.......

Major Black probably worst beret in British army..QS

2024?

Our guys 🇺🇸

Remember this well. Myself and another Chief were in Charge of the working party who set it up over a period of 2 weeks. Queen Mother, Princess Anne, John Major, Casper Weinberger were the dignitaries. Reporter Kata Aidey was there, but favourite moment was of, Labour Leader Jim Callaghan complaining to one of my Leading Hands that it was "Fu^*@g wet here"

This is not 85

My Grandmother and grgrandfather knew some of them

Малышу Валентайну тогда было глубоко за 80! Потрясающая команда!

Ух ты! Супер! Я был в 1984 на их концерте. У меня даже сохранились автографы Кида Томаса Валентайна и Алонсо Стюарта! Это было очень давно и очень супер!!!

Terrific James Last rendition of Beatles tunes! ✌️

These guys also visiting Norway for 5 concerts. I think it was the same year. They only played in churches exept in Ski, Norway where they played in the Town Hall Theatre. The concert in Ski was a great experience, but also interesting to watch. I think it was the guy on tuba that owned the Preservation Hall. He had renovated it and restarted the band. The trompet player was the boss, 80 years old. He always gave the black guys a finger hook in honour for solo performances, but looked very hostail to the white guys. When the man on trombone moved over central on a solo perfomance he pushed him back to his chair. Very peculiar.

🇫🇯 🙏😊

I was there!

Brings back a lot of memories. I discovered the band around this time - a cassette from my grandfather for Christmas - and soon bought up every album they had out. This is still my favorite iteration of the band; the new generation are great players, but they're more of a Brass Band now; this was good and basic Dixieland. I enjoy New Orleans brass band music of course,but old-fashioned Dixieland will always have a place in my heart. 'St Louis Blues' was my favorite song from this vid; I don't remember if I've ever heard them play it, before.

I love the Pres Hall 1980s lineup, with Jaffe on the helicon and so many elder statesmen down front. 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow' is my favorite song by them.

They start off right in your face. I love it

The best Orchestral Arrangements for Songs of Beatles ever heard....James Last we miss you!

Brilliant 👍👍👍

I saw the same band at the Royal Festival Hall in September of 1979 . The band ain't all about the musicianship it was more about the preservation of the music and a hall in New Orleans. It was a great concert . 😢

Well done to the Woodwind...😇🤩

Remember this from when it was first broadcast...brilliant stuff, but that company commander really needs to sort his beret out!

Besides being a delightful clarinetist Willie was such an engaging vocalist and had moves!

I was 1 RGJ From 1973 to 1977 - transfered to the RAMC, this envokes such wonderful memories, I'm 70 now

The foot guards regiments are street liners

Some these cavalry regiments bands are no longer in the British army

Commentary by Raymond Baxter. A war hero in his own right. What a voice!

This was the very last but ramarkable parade during my 20 year of service in the British Army. Jai Brigade of Gurkhas.

Fantastic show our forces at their best 😂

Gosh. I've worked with many of these guys over the years; some of who are sadly not with us any more. Particularly nice to see Barry Reeves, who was the great Madeline Bell's partner.

Is it possible to get the music score and parts for this particular event?

Fantastic Jazz Great musicians!! Another era.! They dont make 'em like that anymore! Thank you for sharing.

Regimental bands of the grenadier Coldstream and Scots guards with Royal Marines Royal Air Force And mounted bands of the household cavalry regiment

Do you have more like this one

I just noticed your post, Tommy. Frank Demond would have been pleased to know that you considered him young! In 1884, he was 51 years old, having been born in 1933. Frank was an architect from California who played trombone on the side. He really admired Jim Robinson, and got to be a close friend of Jim's in the '60s. He gave up his prior profession and moved to New Orleans, where he sharpened his skills to the point that when Jim was not able to play a gig for one reason or another, Frank took his place. When Jim passed away shortly after returning from a lengthy tour with George Lewis's band, Frank became the full time trombonist with George's band, and with Preservation Hall Jazz Band. True, he copied many of Jim's musical patterns and he "danced" like Jim, but it was more a tribute to Jim than simply aping him. Frank had tremendous respect for Jim and for all the old musicians.
