Played with your dad at the Cavern when he had a skiffle group back in the mists of time. Lovely man.

Met your dad at a couple of gigs in the Hundred Club in London and in Fife where he was in bands. He was a British Gene Krupa and was at the heart of that incredible Acker Bilk 4/4 time! What a fine and joyful Band!

I also played with your dad in the French Quarter Parade band (Ron on snare, me on bass drum). I also depped for him in the French Quarter Band when he had his hip replacement. Don't know if you've seen this on my playlist ..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brt4m9iLudi4oIE.html I think there may be a couple more.

Some ol' British Trad' from the late 60's to 70's on the Morcambe and Wise show, who really promoted this typeof music every Saturday night for several years. Acker was the best British clarinetist who based their style on the George Lewis New Orleans genré. I was pretty chuffed to sit in on banjo and guitar when he was guest of Charlie McNair's trad band in mid-late 70's Edinburgh when I was at college there. Acker -from Somerset in S.W. England's cider country- was quite a character who was never without a jug of VERY strong cider never far from his grasp. Boy, that stuff would rock you back on y'r heels but quick!

Ron was a brilliant drummer, left footed and right handed and as Kenny Ball used to say of Ron, " He swung like the clappers " ..... Great singer too...

The best bar none. And his band was incredible. Take the Colin Smith and Johnny Mortimer solos there, for example, thrilling and musically choice.
