JACK IVES ACCORDIAN BAND - Photos 1930's and 1947

Do you recognise anyone in this photo?

By MARION GOODWIN

This photo is on an advertisment for a local estate agent which was put through my door a few months ago, I have only lived in Newhaven for a few years so I don't know much about the history of it, if anyone has any information about this photo of Jack Ives Accordion band which was taken in 1947 at The White Hart Hotel I would love know.

The second photograph is from Marilyn Morris, taken in the 1930's.

My parents used to play in a dance band in the 1940's and 1950's. They moved to Newhaven in the 50's from the Midlands and got to know Jack Ives through music. Jack Ives was a Jazz pianist who married a singer. I'll show this photo to my parents and see if they recognize anyone.

Thank you Helen for your quick response, as I'm quite new to Newhaven I don't know much about the history of it, but I really found this photo of interest as it shows the people in the band so clearly, I did take it to work where there's a lot of local Newhaven people but unfortunately no one seemed to recognise anyone in it.

I know there was a local butcher called Harry Ives who's shop was in Chapel Street but I don't know if Jack was his father.

Harry was Jack's father. Jack's wife is alive and well.

My grandfather was in a band called Jack Ives quartet and I have one photo he was based in Seaford, so I'm guessing it's the same accordian player.

Would it be possible to upload your photo to our website Marlon?
