'Spaw, You'd have enjoyed the Strode's Band (it is based at the school of that name , but it is their adult ed band, players from mid-20s to 60s) as it had 8 reeds: bari,4 tenor & 4 alto ,plus 2 'bones, french horn, 5 trumpets & 4-piece rhythm, leader & singer. I'll be back at the club for Blues night tonight with Bob Hokum and the Guv'nors- a bit smaller group. RtS
