My dad always told anyone who would listen, that she did in fact play the trumpet, and he would fight anyone who would disagree!
I've always believed that she could - and did play, but a little research while waiting for tincture time has shown that in fact she was miming to a Kenny Baker track!
Another myth dispelled!
But wasn't it all a fabulous film! I can watch it over again, and still come back to life with a big grin!

Great playing, but from her fingering you could see she was not actually playing it. Louis Armstrong can rest in peace...
I never believed she was playing it, too histrionic to be real. She and Kenny Baker were both born in Withernsea.

Sam's my boy !
I'm devastated to know that - after all these years Reevers!
Looking at the clip again, Mr H, I have to agree with you, but what a dilemma after nearly sixty years...
Now Elecs, this is such good news!
Congratulations to your fine son, and as we've all watched his progress - and his brother's, all these years, you deserve to be a proud couple you two!
If you'd like to do a post on them on their own, you only have to ask, I think you know my email address! If not, let me know here.
Thank you very much, Michael.
Yes. I'd like to do that but perhaps after the results are in, I don't want to hex anything.
I don't have your email. Mine is kevinjpeat@btinternet.com
Take care
Kevo.
