About this title

Synopsis

Harry Gold's detailed reminiscences of his life as a working musician: London's East End in the 1920s, the high society life of the great dance bands in the inter-war years, and life on the road with his own jazz band, the Pieces of Eight in the post war decades. His musical experiences stretch from seeing the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in 1919 to playing with his Pieces of Eight on tour in East Germany in the 1980s and gigs in Britain and abroad at the end of the 1990s. As he said, 'Have sax, will travel.' His story is populated by royalty, gangsters, fearsome landladies and Irish publicans, but above all by the dozens of jazz and dance band musicians whos talents, eccentricities and often anarchic humour he celebrates. He tells also of struggles, in which he was involved, to unionise the popular music business and create decent working conditions for musicians.
