Hi.
Does anyone know if there are any records kept (newspapers, entertainment pages etc) regarding musicians or bands in the Beckenham area during the 1930s?
I put up a post regarding my uncle Vern's band The Modernists a while back but didn't get any response, so I thought I'd try a different angle.
Vernon Fisk's played the Clarinet and Sax, and the band was actually called Al & His Modernists, so it appears Verne wasn't the band leader as such, but I believe he was quite well known in the area as I have a business card promoting his services as a musician.
Thanks,
Pete Fisk
