\ndisparate and desperate individuals wandering the mysterious and joyous landscape of the early 60s.<\/p>\n

Jazz Beasley and Hot Lips Haines, his surly companion in schoolboy criminality, were struggling out of the musical straightjackets of the Boys Brigade to form the ill fated Tame Valley Juke Stompers.

( was it 3 or 4?) . . . in a tiny room made of  fetid with the secretion of bodily odours and the acrid smouldering of Park Drives. At last they were ready to thrust themselves into the world of musical history. “
