GUEST,henryp I did not say that PPL royalties went to the Barber Band. PPL royalties are paid to individual performers who took part in commercially recorded material NOT to the leader only. I am perfectly aware of the history of the British skiffle movement having been there and worked with the Barber Band - not as a musician. I also later worked at PPL and spoke with Lonnie not long before his death. The Chris Barber Band was already in existence while Ken Colyer was in New Orleans. On his return to England he joined the band. After a while Ken was unhappy with one of the band members and said he would sack him. Chris reminded him that the band was a co-operative and the band sacked Ken.
