Everybody loved the Clyde Valley Stompers! They first came to the fore in the 1950s and 60s when there was a great revival for traditional jazz. Scotland produced many excellent musicians during this period and a significant number of them passed through this much loved band!
Led by trombonist Ian Menzies, the Clyde Valley Stompers enjoyed a great deal of success and worldwide acclaim including chart hits. This CD presents a selection of favourites from the reunion sessions which took place during 1982 and 1983 in Strathaven. Many of the original band members returned including trumpeter Malcolm Higgins, Mary McGowan and Fionna Duncan. This CD is an absolutely brilliant blast from the past!
