Q: “Did you have a regular trio that was a house band somewhere or anything like that?”

A: Keith Ingram: “We used to have a kind of house group at the places that we'd go into like Pete's Express and sometimes the Hundred Club, but really that's not a very economic thing to keep going in England because, you know, it's just a matter of where the work is. You know, there isn't really one place that's ever been able to sustain, I think, a house band, you know, except perhaps the old Humphrey Littleton Club, but that was Hump's own club, you know.”

Interviewer: “Right.”

Keith Ingram: “So he kept his own band working steady, you know, from ... I'm talking about late 50s now, maybe 60s, you know. I used to go from school. I used to sneak in and hear Keith Christie and Wally, you know, Wally Fawkes. You know, they're a very good band. I enjoyed it.”
