I'm going on another march back in time to enjoy the retro jazz bands of South Tyneside

It was so musical that we just had to head back once more to memories of South Tyneside jazz bands.

There have been so many great bands of note in our area and here are some that we found in the Shields Gazette archives.

Enjoy some wonderful South Shields Squadronaires, Hebburn Crusaders, and Cleadon Marines.
