Very interesting and unusual. Did they play real jazz?

Thanks for posting. My mother remembers seeing this band as a young girl in the Thirties. Her older brother Joe Lee was a band member and she believes her mother's cousin Bill Simmons ran the band.

They probably played tommy talkers

Jarvo they were generally kitted out with kazoos and drums, and played a variety of stuff; everything from popular tunes of the day to 'Rule Britannia'.
