Bert Weedon also started his musical Life in Jazz bands, most noticeably along with Geoff Love, (trombone) and Norrie Paramor (piano) in an early incarnation of Harry Golds pieces of eight.
It was this band that in the early forties was forbidden by the B.B.C to feature (in a RADIO broadcast!!) a romantic song duet between Geoff Love, who was black, and the bands white girl vocalist.
