PERSONNEL
Roger Marks - Leader, Trombone.
Former Rod Mason sidesman who has also worked and broadcast with Pete Allen's Band and who's versatility makes him a natural for Festival All Star line-ups. Unique melodic stylist equally at home with Dixieland or mainstream.
John Shillito - Trumpet, Vocals.
Came to prominence when he took the trumpet chair over from Ken Colyer when the band metamorphosed into Johnny Bastable's Chosen six. Former bandleader of thirty years experience. Peerless trumpet lead of great precision and poise.
Ken Rennison - Clarinet, Saxophones
Formerly a founder member of the Teign Valley Stompers (20 years service). Extremely accomplished and effervescent player whose undoubted flair adds a little sparkle to everything he touches.
John Witlock - Banjo, Guitar.
A founder member of the Armada. Known the length and breadth of the country for his impeccable banjo solo features, but one third of one of the finest rhythm sections in the country.
Bob Jarvis - Bass Guitar
Vastly experienced musician whose bass lines are as accurate as a Swiss watch - the band's anchorman
Denny Hutchinson - Drums.
Lifetime professional who has been a member of the bands of Sandy Brown, Bob Wallace, Alex Welsh, Joe Loss and diversely, Alan Price. A superb technician.
