Jack Simpson Band Issue Title Is Points And Pints (1944)

Part of issue POINTS AND PINTS. Pathe Studios, London. Various shots of percussionist Jack Simpson and his sextet band (comprising of double bass, accordion, piano, guitar and violin). Simpson plays the glockenspiel. They perform one of Simpson’s own compositions, a jazzy number called “Spooks“. Tune is illustrated by various spooky shots superimposed over musicians. Shots include people screaming, animations of ghosts dancing and a woman in bed being woken up by man wearing a sheet (very unintentionally funny). FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
