My dad, who died last year, was Len Davies, the bones player. He was well known on the English festival scene for playing the bones in sessions and teaching bones workshops. He played with lots of well-known musicians like Dave Swarbrick and Ron Kavana. He used to be good friends with Alan Sillitoe (the author) when he lived Majorca after the war.

Also my grandmother's cousin was an actress called Avis Bunnage. She had a leading role in the first production of the musical 'Oh What a Lovely War'. Her last role was in the film about The Krays - she played their grandmother.
