Delighted to hear this today! I have recently been investigating 'Nessie' as part of my investigation into 1920's nightclubs. So much speculation as to whether she actually existed! #Nessie #1920s #DavidNiven

I'm so intrigued by how people research and organise their work. Love the fact that you have Pukka pads and post-its.... looking forward to seeing what comes next.

If your great granny was a jazz musician, you know where to find me!

Delighted to help you build your jazz community here! I'm particularly interested in early female jazz musicians from the 1920's. The wonderful @ctackley.bsky.social is my go to expert on this but as many women go unrecorded, oral family histories will prove an important research tool.
