I was in East Kent covering the Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Jazz Festival
when Peter Clifford tipped me off that
The New Orleans Swamp Donkeys, touring from the USA,
were starring at The Duke Of Cumberland in Whitstable that Sunday afternoon.
So we upped tools and headed for
The Duke with Peter at the wheel.
I had packed my lens away to head back for Ramsgate when The Swamp Donkeys launched into their next number. Sensing it was going to be something special, I rapidly re-geared for
“St James Infirmary” Swamp Donkey Style!
