Hello,

I am producing a Radio 4 programme about women in jazz between the wars and we are looking for surviving relatives of female jazz musicians / singers from the very early period of jazz in Britain (1919-1939).

I know it is a long shot but if anyone fits the bill then please let me know! We would love to have a chat.

Thank you very much,

Hannah

My grandmother played ragtime piano, she was apparently quite good and played large fairs throughout the south. She could not read music and played by ear.

I know very little else about her, she died when my dad was born and anyone that knew her has died long ago.

Thank you very much for your response.

I wonder if you could send me your email address or a contact number?

We would love to have her name as it would be interesting to delve a little further to see what we can find out. We have contacts in the National Jazz Archive, the British Library and Jazz Services so might be able to do a quick check with them.
