When we made our first CD in 2002, the band consisted of the people you see on the right of your screen, with the addition on some tracks of Frank Brooker.

Since then the band has appeared at the Bude Jazz Festival, the Broughton-in-Furness Festival, the Birmingham HMV Jazz Festival, John Petters’ ‘Now You Has Jazz...’ Weekend in Pakefield and the Brecon Jazz Festival. In 2010 we shall be at the Swanage Festival in July (as the Jazz Revellers) and the Teignmouth Festival in November, though as a quintet rather than a seven-piece (see below).

We're fortunate to have access to a pool of excellent musicians who are familiar with our unhackneyed repertoire and fit comfortably into the Condon style. These include Paul Munnery, Graham Hughes, Rachel Hayward, Mike Wills, John Wurr, Perry Lock, Roger Heeley, Peter Tabois, Annie Hawkins, Roger Davis, Roger Heath and Mike Bennett.

Our vocalist and de facto leader is Judy Eames. A permanent feature of the band is the 1938 Conn Victor cornet which was owned and played by Max Kaminsky, and which after Max‘s death passed to Chris Tyle and from Chris to Tony Davis (another constant). The horn, by the way, is called ‘Connee’, after the divine Connee Boswell, and her provenance was certified by Max's widow, the late Virginia Hughes Kaminsky.

Because of financial considerations we normally don't have the full complement of seven in the band - drums are a luxury we can't afford. The most usual line-up is cornet, reeds, piano and bass - and of course singer.
