Dave Pullen | Trumpet / Trombone / Flugel Horn / Bass / Vocals |
|---|---|---|
| I have been in the music business for many years. Starting as a teenager in a Salvation Army Band playing Cornet, I have followed all types of music from Classical to Jazz Bands and have had the pleasure of playing with countless excellent musicians over the years. Many years spent in London playing in all types of Bands, including the Royal Army Medical Corps Band for eleven years, has given me excellent musical knowledge and experience of which I am very proud. | ||

Doreen Pullen | Clarinet / Tenor Saxophone / Piano |
|---|---|---|
| My musical experience started many years ago when I was 6 years old. I studied piano for four years, but at the age of seven I was introduced to recorders and found them very easy to play. From then on, although still playing piano, I preferred to 'blow' so I started to play Clarinet, followed by the Saxaphone. I still play piano in a Big Band. My life has been full of music, playing in Orchestras, Military Bands, Big Bands, Jazz Bands and teaching for the Yamaha organisation. There's nothing better than experience. | ||

Keith Pullen | Drums |
|---|---|---|
| I started playing Drums at fifteen, studying with a private tutor in London. The Bernard Delfont Agency contracted me to play for their Summer Season work. This gave me wonderful experience and I found myself backing Bruce Forsyth, Jimmy Young, Lita Rosa and many other well known artists. For many years my experiences then covered Big Bands, Dance Orchestras, Musicals, Pantomimes, Theatres, Variety, Hotels and many more. Playing Drums with the Dixieland Band is thoroughly enjoyable. | ||
