Catalogue note

The Floozies Nightclub in Floozie Street (now you know how it got its name) was a famous venue in fifties London. Here we see rare footage of performer Dickie Bow singing "The Jazz Girl".

As Dickie said himself, "You always play a venue twice. Once on the way up, and once on the way down. So, hello again Floozies!"

Dickie retired three months later. Although his mouth never did quite match what he was saying, he put it down to a dental accident as a child.
