flanked by the Hobbs clarinet and Tony Attenborough on trombone Girl singers Breaking new' ground in a different way they were also the first local band to feature girl singers namely Frankie and Jyll Later Mick Gill came in on trumpet and was with the Stompers when they started their long run at Bulwell seven years ago Proof of their loyal following came last year when a reunion when things tend to collapse because there's nothing beneath One charge you can never throw at Johnny is that of neglecting the roots of jazz immersed himself in the music to the almost total exclusion of any other spare-time Interest Nowadays he plays only once a week at Bulwell's 360 Club every Sunday But in the 1950s the Johnny Hobbs Stompers were probably the busiest band in Nottingham They opened clubs at Daybrook Mansfield Grantham and Loughborough played for countless local cut records for private distribution and once appeared in a film which was shown at the Nice Festival All thus with the line-up of a soprano IMAGINE a table well constructed with four legs stoutly planted on the floor It has to be solid at the bottom before things can be piled on top Like the ideal jazzman in fact And the analogy is not mine It comes from Johnny Hobbs a man who has been building on firm jazz foundations for the past 20 years trouble is that lots of jazz musicians today try to start halfway up the table

session of the old Stompers drew former fans from 50 and 60 miles away Currently carrying on the tradition are Terry Cotterill (trumpet) John North (alto) Johnny Hobbs (clarinet) Maurice Coleman (guitar and banjo) Dick Rose (drums) and Archie Knight (bass) The leader is also likely to double most nights on piano drums and banjo anything to keep playing It's all part of the Johnny Hobbs dictum that entertainment is a primary aim half the people go wrong is that they take the attitude without ever trying to entertain he insists all right if the session is free But once a person pays at the door or even puts a penny in the hat he has his rights Research Johnny has less time for entertaining now than he used to do Most of his spare moments are spent on discographical research and finding room for his ever-growing collection of old phonographs cylinders and 6000-odd 78s Still building those solid foundations in fact Another well-known figure from the earlier Nottingham jazz era clarinettist Brian Woolley made one of his periodic reappearances at the Green Man Oxton Fric Peat's regular clarinet man Jerry Fell was unavailable so Brian stepped in at late notice From all reports
