THE Northern Echo carried an article on Darlington’s third annual jazz festival (Echo, Apr 28) which mentioned that one of the headline acts was The Al Wood Nine.
What a blast from the past for me.
Before we lived in Gainford (we moved here in 1986), we lived in the Ribble Valley and sometimes on a Monday evening we would go to The Three Fishes pub, in Mitton, a hamlet near Clitheroe.
The Fishes had a jazz club and a few local musicians would play. In addition, professional musicians would sometimes come and play as a bonus.
One of the professionals we go to know was Al Wood and his wife. I am sitting here looking at a tape cassette entitled Al Wood Plays 4 Fun. I would love to get back in touch with him.
The article mentioned a lady called Kirsty Dunn but I have no way of getting in touch with her.
Peter E Baker, Gainford.
