Extract from Jazz in Northamptonshire:
The only remaining jazz spot in Rushden is now the Skew Bridge Ski Club where the County Jazzband plays one Thursday each month and a modern quartet, playing George Shearing type of music play on the other three Thursdays.

No list of musicians is in the book

It is interesting to note that the drummer, Trevor Knight, plays for both groups.
This quartet, a combination of vibraphone, drums, guitar and electric bass, recently had a successful residency at the Red Lion at Raunds, but now, apart from private functions, the Ski Club seems to be their only regular engagement.
However at is pleasing to note, that at the time of writing (1972) both the traditional and the modern jazz fans are still catered for in Rushden.
