Let there be music! Another photo loaned by Tony Minton of Bridgnorth today, shows a concert by Adjazz, a swing band formed from students of the Adams School, Wem. It has since been renamed the Thomas Adams School. Tony said: “The picture was taken at a concert given in the William Brookes School at Much Wenlock, perhaps in the 1980s or 1990s. “The performance was faultless and completely authentic and the close harmony singing group delivered their wartime songs with no indication that the sentiments in those songs might well have been almost incomprehensible to those young ladies of a later era. “The band also included a very competent pianist and rhythm section who could not fit on the stage and are therefore out of sight on the main floor level.”
