I saw Monty Sunshine's band many years ago (guesswork suggests around 35) at Wilmington (Dartford) school. I was a callow youth and asked MS if he had played with any other bands, "Oh yes" he said "The band of hope and the band of glory.".

Of course most saw George Melly at some point or the other. My last memory was him congratulating me on my hat (that was some compliment from George) at the funeral of his old editor in Wiltshire, some 10 years ago.
