EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the swinging 1960s and a lively Thursday night at the Crown and Anchor pub in Islington, London. The Johnny Parker band, a beloved traditional jazz ensemble, entertains an enthusiastic crowd with their infectious rhythms and melodies. The band members, dressed in fashionable 1960s attire, include Bob Todd on drums, Graham Stewart on trombone, Dave Godard on bass, Mike Peters and Bob Ray on trumpets, and Wally Fawkes on clarinet. Their focused expressions and synchronized movements speak to the passion and dedication they brought to each performance. The Crown and Anchor pub was a popular destination for jazz lovers, and the band's Thursday night gigs and Sunday lunchtime sessions drew crowds from all over the city. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the pub, with its dim lighting and cozy corners, provided the perfect setting for an evening of live music and camaraderie. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when traditional jazz reigned supreme and the Crown and Anchor pub was a hub of musical activity in Islington. It's a reminder of the rich musical history of London in the 1960s and the enduring power of live music to bring people together.
